change header color

first – behind the top menu:

#menu {
	background-color: #191919;
	height:3.0em;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #373737;
}

second – around the header image:

#header {
	height: 216px;
	background: #888888 url(images/header.jpg) no-repeat center;
}

you need to add the color info there (#888888 or any other color).

thanks alchymyth!

a couple of questions
re the header, I added

#header {
height: 216px;
background: #F5F5F5 url(images/header.jpg) no-repeat center;
}

but didnt seem to work?

also with the menu, I changed the header color but need to change the font color as when you hover over and click the font turns white and dissapears?

thanks for your help!

change css to

#menu ul li a:hover {
color:#000; /*balck color(change to ur color*/
}
#header a:hover {
color:#000; /*balck color*/
}

thanks Binni_77

where do I place the code? under the /* Header */ or /* Menu */ section

and I what the color to be f5f5f5

so it is

#menu ul li a:hover {
color:#f5f5f5; /*balck color*/
}
#header a:hover {
color:#f5f5f5; /*balck color*/
}

do I replace any css?
sorry for all the questions! ??
