    I was hoping someone could give me some guidance. I'm pretty new to the wordpress arena and am having issues with changing my primary navigation menu background color.

    My website is here: http://healthierthanapancreas.com/

    Right now it appears to have taken the view of the background image I uploaded. I was hoping to make the actual navigation menu a solid blue. I have made no adjustment to date to my style.css file.

    Thanks again for the help.

    Your menu area is transparent. You are seeing the background image because of the absence of any color. Add this to style.css and it will give you the darkblue background:

    #nav .wrap {
        background-color: darkblue;
    }
