How do I change the background color on the Ask Size/Sell column in the Trading DOM? This particular chart is so not use the Global settings in Chart > Graphics Settings - Chart but there aren't any options to adjust Trading Dom colors in there, only Chart DOM. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you!

We are a bit confused by your statements about the Trading DOM and options for Chart DOM.

If you have a Trading DOM open, then you can change the graphics settings for that window either through "Global Settings >> Graphics Settings", or through "Chart >> Graphics Settings". In the case where you select "Chart >> Graphics Settings" on the Trading DOM window itself, you would need to disable the option for "Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings".

If you have selected "Chart >> Graphics Settings" on the Trading DOM, then you will NOT see any options for "Chart DOM" listed in there. You should only see options for "Trade DOM...".

Whatever method you use, to change the background of the "Ask Size/Sell" column on the Trade DOM, select the entry for "Trade DOM Sell Column Background" and set the color as you want it. Then enable the "Enable" option for that item (make sure there is a checkmark next to the "Enable" item). Refer to the following:

I'm so dumb, I didn't check the enable box. Thanks again and sorry for the hassle.
