Changing colour of nav bar

Hi,
Please make sure your code is put between backtics; use the code-button at the beginning and end to do so.

.navigation-main, .navigation-main ul, .navigation-main li {background:#99cc66;}

If your theme has an option to customize the CSS like a ‘custom css’-TAB, place the above code there.
Is such a feature missing from your theme? See the instructions below.
Add the above code to the `style.css’ of your CHILDtheme:

You don’t have a childtheme yet?

1. Install and activate ‘one click childtheme plugin
2. create the childtheme
3. Dashboard > appearance > Themes > activate the childtheme
4. Make the changes in the CHILDtheme!
– copy php files / css-file(s) of the original theme [as required] to the childtheme directory and edit them as required.

You can also use a Custom CSS plugin, such as the one that ships with Jetpack. Thanks for helping out Ginfo ??

Thanks, this code seemed to work fine (changed nav bar color to dark blue) when pasted in the style.css of the theme Expound:

.navigation-main {
background: #0e123d !important;
}

.navigation-main a {
background: #0e123d !important;
}

.navigation-main ul > .current_page_item a:after, .navigation-main ul > .current-menu-item a:after, .navigation-main ul > .current-post-ancestor a:after, .navigation-main ul > .current-menu-parent a:after, .navigation-main ul > .current-post-parent a:after {
border-top: 6px solid #0e123d !important;
}

thank you at last! This works…..after hours and hours of study and searching and reading. Why isn’t a basic colour control in the dashboard as with .com? This isn’t fair.
