Here are some examples which may help you get started, you can pick one and modify it for your site. This example will change the background color for the entire left sidebar in the Mimbo Pro theme:

#sidebar {
	background: #ffc;
}

This example will change the background color for all custom menus in the left sidebar in the Mimbo Pro theme:

#sidebar .widget_nav_menu {
	background: #ffc;
}

This example will change the background color for just the first custom menu in your site using the ID assigned to the first menu. You can find the ID for any menu by adding it and then looking at the generated page source to see what the "id" value is set to.

#nav_menu-5 {
	background: #ffc;
}

Adjust the color as necessary.

You've actually used custom menus for five widgets on your site, which is fine, but that means we have to target the custom menu widget(s) you want to change by their ID# so I need to know the title of the widgets you want to change so that we don't change the color of widgets you do NOT want to change.
