 * Hello,
 * I am using the Avik theme, and I have found the color area under Appearance >
   Customize, but I cannot find out how to change the menu color. I am not desiring
   to change it as a hover color, but rather a solid color the color I am looking
   to change it to is Blue the code No. is #0000FF. Any help anyone can provide 
   is greatly appreciated.

 * If you’re trying to change the menu background
 *     ```
       .navbar {
          background-color: #0000ff;
       }
       ```
   
 * You’ll then have to adjust the menu text color to white or something else fairly
   light.
 * **To add or override CSS:** use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer._

 * Steve,
 * I don’t want to chage the background, but the menu text itself.

 * Steve Correction I noticed what happened, the only time is doesn’t show blue 
   is when you are on a specific page, such as if you are on the Home Page is shows
   as gray hyperlink, but if you are on the about page then the about page hyperlink
   shows in gray but the rest of the pages show in blue. Is there a way to change
   it to where the menu links are blue regardless of what page a person is on. Again
   please see the link below.

 * That should work.
 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/avik#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/avik#new-post)
   so the your theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * Steve,
 * When I was able to get to a different computer and past it into the Additional
   CSS under Appearances > Customize it worked however I didn’t realize I would 
   need both CSS codes in there.
 * Thank you for your help.
