   I would like to be able to change the menu colors in the Elbee Elgee child theme. I an not up to date on CSS. Although I have tinkered some over the years.
   The problem is this:
   I am using Buddypress and the Buddypress menu has a black background and blue foreground when un-selected. Makes very hard to read.
   Here is my test site: http://pinemountaincarvers.org/testwp/

   That's a very important point.
   To resolve this, you could add this to the bottom of your Child Theme's style.css file;
   

   #menu-elbee-child-buddypress-menu a:link,
   #menu-elbee-child-buddypress-menu a:visited {
    color: white;
   }
   
   #menu-elbee-child-buddypress-menu a:hover {
    background: black;
   }

   Play about with those colours to suit you.

   Andrew, that was FAST and accurate!
   I just copied your example and pasted in the bottom of the child style CSS and it changed the blue foreground to white which is acceptable.

   I may do as you suggest and play around with the colors to see which is most pleasing to the eye. Black seem a little harsh.

   Thank you very much, I spent several hours searching for an example of this.
