 * It was set to black when I hovered over the menu items, but now that it’s a black
   background I wanted to change it, but I can’t figure out how. Thanks!

 * In your “default.css” file find the line `ul.dropdown li.hover, ul.dropdown li:
   hover, ul.dropdown li.on` and edit `background-color` to the colour you want.
   eg “#89bdf1”.
 * perhaps you should create a child theme as you may lose these changes if the 
   theme is updated
