Changing navigation text colour | WordPress.org

Hi Alexander,
I have lightened the background colour of the header, and now need either to make the header navigation bar, (not top nav), have a darker background, or else darken the colour of the navigation text.
I have tried copying css from the style sheet into custom.css, but this has not worked, maybe something is overriding the defaults, or I have copied the wrong code.
Could you help. Thanks
Eric

Try adding this to your custom css:

For darker background:
```
#nav-header.nav-container,
#nav-header .nav ul { background-color: #222!important; }
```
You may not need the !important there, not sure.

Or to recolor the nav links,
```
#nav-header .nav li a { color: #666; }
#nav-header .nav li > a:hover,
#nav-header .nav li:hover > a,
#nav-header .nav li.current_page_item > a,
#nav-header .nav li.current-menu-item > a,
#nav-header .nav li.current-menu-ancestor > a,
#nav-header .nav li.current-post-parent > a { color: #222; }
```

Thanks, this was helpful to fix my issue with the “home” on the menu header disappearing, but how do I change the “post comment” button color so that it’s visible? http://dogsinthecle.com/?p=272
