So, you copied sprite_h and changed it to your color then are using it in the child theme? Do I have that right? You started with the .psd version of the file, right?

Oh… bad words! I did not see that, I was looking for actual numbers.

Thank you!

#nav {

background: url("images/sprite_h.png") repeat-x scroll left top gray;

border-bottom: 3px solid #EEDF9E;

border-top: 1px solid #EEDF9E;

height: 46px;

padding-top: 12px;

position: relative;

width: 100%;

I have a child theme set up, but this venture is my first with WordPress, php, etc. I do have a programming background, though it was a totally different language. That gives me the skills to understand, conceptually, what is going on, but this digging to find the variable that is controlling that color is making me nuts.

After much searching, yesterday, I learned about Firebug and installed it. That sent me to the #nav section of the CSS page and I had already tried the color changes you suggested. Thank you for that suggestion, but something else is going on and I really want to ditch that gray!

I looked at the sprite_h.psd file yesterday. It does not appear to have that gray in it. If that is where the nav bar colors are coming from then I will have to find someone with more Photoshop expertise than I have to make the changes.

Thanks to you or anyone who can offer additional guidance.

Kim, if you are asking me to add a link to my site, I cannot do that yet. As I mentioned above it is only on my PC. I have not launched it yet.

I put the jpg of the screen shot on my flicker site.
