    I have spent over an hour going through the forums and looking at CSS on my site and I cant find where to change this. Sorry if it is obvious.

    I want the submenu (bottom menu) to have the white (as it is) but BOLD.
    I want the drop downs to have a darker font of #3F3F3F

    I also want all the body text of the whole site to default to #3F3F3F

    For your drop downs, open your style.css and do a search for (ctrl + f) "#a5a5a3", that's the color currently being used. When you find that color, you should see it in some css pertaining to sub-nav, or navigation related css. Simply swap out that color for the #3F3F3F that you prefer.

    That same color appears to be what's being used in the body, so again, search for "#a5a5a3" find .body (or something very similar) and replace it with #3F3F3F.

    The only bit I'm not 100% on is how to make the white stay as is, but be bold. I'm sure that's really simple css, but css is not my forte, in fact, I loath it haha.

    Thanks sooo much! It all worked well. For reference, in case someone else needs to know, for the bold, I added this line to this area of code. (This would be for the submenu headers/top of menu item.

    .genesis-nav-menu a {
    color: #fff;
    display: block;
    padding: 20px 24px;
    position: relative;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;
    }

    To change the body font color for the whole site find this in your stylesheet and change color: to #3f3f3f

    body {
    	background-color: #efefe9;
    	color: #a5a5a3;
    	font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif;
    	font-size: 16px;
    	font-weight: 300;
    	line-height: 1.625;
    }

    To make the submenu items bold add this to your styleeheet

    .menu-secondary a {
    	font-weight: bold;
    }

    Do you want the dropdowns of both navigations to be darker or just the bottom one? Changing the color in this selector will change both.

    .genesis-nav-menu > li:hover .sub-menu a,
    .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu a {
    background-color: #fafafa;
    color: #a5a5a3;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-size: 1.2rem;
    padding: 16px 24px;
    padding: 1.6rem 2.4rem;
    position: relative;
    width: 184px;
    }
