Either of those options should work, updating the background property is the simplest way to do it.

Hi there,
All CSS editing is theme specific. I did a simple forum search and found this. The menu bar in twenty eleven is actually a CSS3 linear gradient. The first color code in the background declaration is the top color, and the second is the bottom color. See here > http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/menu-bar-changes-color-when-i-try-to-edit-css?replies=6#post-650764
Hope this helps

Change CSS

#access{
background:#your_color_here;
}

This works in Twenty Ten so it should work in Eleven

I am new to all this, using Twenty Eleven. I would like to be able to customise the menu bar color so that it does not appear black. Thanks for all your help!! kimberly
