    How do you change the background color of the primary and secondary navigation bars in News theme?

    Try this:

    Find line 481 for your Sub Nav

    #subnav ul {
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
    }

    and add your background color. So, if you wanted white you would add:

    #subnav ul {
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
    background: #fff;
    }

    Then look at line 351 for the Primary:

    #nav {
    background: url(images/bg-dark.png);
    border-left: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
    border-right: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
    clear: both;
    color: #fff;
    font-family: 'Oswald', arial, serif;
    margin: 0 auto;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    width: 960px;
    }

    Replace the background elements with the color or image that you would like.

    Hope this helps
