    Hi all

    I am trying to make the color of the text white on the menu in Modern Portfolio Pro.

    This code works when I hover over the menu but not otherwise. Is there somewhere in the CSS that is over-riding my code?

    .nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu {
    background-color: #b42729;
    color: #fff;
    }

    .nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu a:hover,
    .nav-primary .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu .current-menu-item > a:hover {
    background-color: #1d477e;
    color: #fff;
    }

    Thanks in advance
    Malcolm

    .modern-portfolio-pro-red .entry-meta a, .modern-portfolio-pro-red .entry-title a, .modern-portfolio-pro-red .genesis-nav-menu a, .modern-portfolio-pro-red .sidebar .widget-title a, .modern-portfolio-pro-red .site-footer a, .modern-portfolio-pro-red .site-title a, .modern-portfolio-pro-red .site-title a:hover, .modern-portfolio-pro-red a:hover, .modern-portfolio-pro-red a.social-buttons:hover {
