 * I would like to change the Sub-Menu Background Color. And also the Sub-Menu Item
   Hover Background Color.
    Where can I change this? Not in Theme Option > Background
   Colors?

 * You’re going to have to create some CSS styles for these modifications.
    Use 
   a Child Theme or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)
   plugin if you’re not already.

 * Thanks Andrew. I am not familiair with a child theme. Is it also possible to 
   make some changes in a php-file?
 * When I use the plugin ‘Custom CSS Manager’ I don’t make any changes in the theme
   CSS-files? I will download this plugin and see if I understand the meaning 🙂

 * Uhmm, can I only add some code in the Custom CSS Code Manager settings?
 * If so, do you know what I have to add if I want to change the Sub-Menu Background
   Color? And also the Sub-Menu Item Hover Background Color.

 * Yes. It’s not really our place to teach CSS. Try [http://csscreator.com/forum](http://csscreator.com/forum).
   
   For now, just use;
 *     ```
       #access li li {
        background: deeppink;
       }
   
       #access li li:hover {
        background: deepskyblue;
       }
       ```

 * This is the solution 🙂
 * To change the background of the sub menu link:
 * #access li li a {
    background-color: #9B8579; }
 * To change the background when hovering over the sub menu link:
 * #access li li a:hover {
    background: #AE9C92; }
