Cannot change the colour of HTML element with JavaScript

Question

It's a very simple line of code:

document.getElementsByClassName("header-2014 clearfix")[0].backgroundColor = "#FF0000"

I'm trying to use it here:

http://www.roblox.com/Chess-place?id=95041893

I'm using the JavaScript console (could that have anything to do with it?)

I'm expecting a very simple answer, so help would be appreciated, it's probably just some simple syntax error that a newbie to JavaScript (like me) would have.

You obviously want to change the style of the element, so don't forget to mention it in the code:

... [0].style.backgroundColor = "#FF0000";
