    Hi! I need help.

    How can I possibly change the color of the navigation bar on my site?

    I can't find it...

    I only found where I can change the colors when you hover over it.

    Thank you in advance!

    It's in the WordPress Appearance/Customize area.

    Thanks Victor!

    But that will also change all the accent colors. I want to just change the header background color.

    I already looked for this in the CSS but the color won't change. I plan to change my header.

    .site-header {
    background-color: #fff;
    padding: 5px;
    overflow: hidden;
    }

    Am I missing something?

    The accent color produces inline CSS which overrides anything in style.css. To override the accent color, you have to add the !important key word to style.css:

    .nav-secondary {
        background-color: #a5d96b !important;
        color: #fff;
    }

    You'll find the code to change in style.css starting at line 1305.
