   Change CSS

   #access{
   background:#your_color_here;
   }

   This works in Twenty Ten so it should work in Eleven

   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

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