How do I shade a form a certain color? I believe that deals with CSS? I am trying to figure out CSS, I am not to familiar.
Do I go into the theme CSS, or the CSS for gravity forms. If I go into the theme for gravity forms where do I put in certain CSS code.
For example
If I wanted to take the below code and make a red box around my form, where would I stick this?
body .gform_wrapper { border:1px solid red }
You would add custom CSS to your themes stylesheet. You wouldn't edit the Gravity Forms stylesheet. You would write custom CSS to target and style specific form elements the way you want them to be and add this so your themes stylesheet file.
Documentation for how to target and style form elements can be found here:

I found the place I need to put the CSS, now how can I add padding to the border so it looks better? Here is the site http://www.valueemployees.com/paypros/
You would add padding to the same CSS selector you are applying that red border too. So you'd add like padding: 10px; to your CSS. You may want to look up some tutorials on CSS.
just add more properties to the rule you've already got working
[css]
body #gform_wrapper_1 .gform_body { border:1px solid red; padding:20px }screenshot: http://grab.by/a6AH
