No idea about the developer toolkit, but your main problem is
discovering which style has the highest priority. It could be
a bit weird. As a quick hack - you can create your own class or id
and make sure that it appears only on that particular page. Then style
it with high specificity. NOTICE: This is a quick hack, it is ugly, it
might quickly lead to serious brain damage, let alone mess.

About your original question - how to change the backround on a
particular page - if you want to change the style of a particular
set of pages, you might have a success with the sections module.

Alternatively, there used to be a tip in the handbook, giving code
example of how to do it within the theme template, without the sections
module. Not sure where to pint you to though. But the idea is simple:
in the beginning of the tpl file do conditional loading of templates -
if, switch, whatever you fancy.

An advice, if you want to save yourself some brain power, spend some
time and split drupal.css into logical components and get a feeling what
is used there. It looks scary, but it is fairly straight forward, and is
well documented inside the file. The themes, tend to be messier, due to
beautification hacks and are not documented to that extent.

Apropos, I like shooting in the dark, just don't tell the kittens
