Change menu nav bar and font colour

Hi...

Bit of a newbie to wordpress!

I want to change the background colour on my main menu underneath the header.. and i also want to change the font colour. How do I do this?

 

Hello,

Paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

.header_wrapper {
background: red;
}
#menu li a {
color: blue;
}

 

Thank you!

But it turns the whole header red, I just wanted my menu bar in blue! Is there a way to do that?

 

Hello,

Paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

#menu li a {
color: your color value;
}
#menu .ddsmoothmenu {
background: your color value!important;
}

Add your color in place of "your color value".

 

Thanks very much!
