You can use CSS to change the background color.
Thank you respectyoda for your replay. I am looking to know exactly how to do it, which section to amend, given the mentioned theme used “Photo”. Could you guide me. Thanks
Please provide a URL so I can figure out where you need to make changes CSS-wise.

We can recommend the CSS to use, but you should contact your theme’s vendors about where to put it. If you can’t get into contact with them and you don’t know where to put CSS modifications then try a Custom CSS plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/
Andrew, I can easily tell him where to put the CSS code. First, let him determine whether or not he can open the file and make changes that I suggest. Thanks.

In that case I’ll post this as a notice:
If you make modifications to the theme’s files those modifications will be erased when the theme updates.
Well, if he is using a child theme, this won’t be a problem for him.
@respectyoda: Please do not encourage people to edit their theme’s CSS. Many people do not realise how unwise this is and it’s the forum regulars – like Andrew & myself – who then have to deal with the fallout that such poor advice causes.
@esmi This is precisely why I said that if he is using a child theme, it wouldn’t be a problem for him. If he didn’t have a child theme, I would then suggest him to make a child theme.
Good advice respectyoda. I’ll try to contact the Theme’s developer directly before trying any thing. URL: benjeliligficaindex.com
You can contact the theme’s developer, but in the meantime, you can follow my advice for safely changing the menu bar.
First, make a child theme. Follow the instructions in the link to make a child theme. It is really simple as I guarantee this.
Making a Child Theme
Second, in the css file for the child theme, put the following code:
#navigation{
background-color: #F5F5F5; //use the hex code of a color you want to use
}
