Now, I am going to change the background color of my menu to match this color.

Here is the command:

.menu {

background-color: #006635;

background-image: none;

}

The number to the right of the hashtag (pound sign if you’re my generation), is the number you want to change.

As you can see, I have pasted and changed the number to match the number I got from pixlr.

Don’t forget to save!

And now my menu looks like this:

Hi Angela.Is CSS not regarded as more advanced than html or have I got this wrong,I take it you cannot change colour with html,not that I want to at the minute,it looks very confusing to my brain.

Not really more advanced just different. But to make changes with your theme it is done with CSS

The best part of working with Cascading Style Sheets is that
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g., fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents. Any one that has the time can learn more at www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Overview.en.html

right, you can look at it like html is the bones (structure) and css is the skin (hair, makeup lol)

Excellent tutorial Angela!

I use Simple Custom CSS too, and it's been great. It keeps my changes, even if the theme undergoes a major upgrade. Unfortunately, if I change themes, I have to go back and adjust the changes I made in the plugin. Overall though - no complaints!

Nicely done!
