 * Hey dreamstone, try pasting this into your custom css box in appearance > theme
   options > advanced settings:
 *     ```
       #nav-main ul.sf-menu {
       background: #333;
       }
       ```
   
 * Is this what you mean? You can change the text color in theme options > menu 
   settings. The hover color is set in theme options > basic styling > primary color.
   
   Hope this is helpful!
