ul#nav li.rss a { margin: 0 15px 0 0; padding: 0 18px 0 0; background: url('images/icon_rss.gif') 100% 50% no-repeat; }
specifically,
ul#nav { width: 896px; list-style: none; margin: 0.5em 0 1.2em 0; padding: 0; background: #1D1D1D; float: left; clear: both; }
#1D1D1D is the standard color.
the hover over color is in here:
ul#nav li a:hover { color: #FFF; background-color: #C3C3C3; text-decoration: none; }
