p.s Your code worked. I had a typo 🙂 That is what I figured out

I figured it out. Thank you! (I understand the CSS better now too!)

Ok, I didn't understand needing to repeat it. I did it and it is still orange 🙁 I even reset the theme to blue. I opened it in Chrome developer tools and it shows the orange but doesn't show me why. I am new to CSS editing and so am puzzled.

This is what I did, following your instructions:

.eleven40-pro-blue a, {
color: #2aa4cf;
}

.eleven40-pro-blue button:hover,
.eleven40-pro-blue input:hover[type="button"],
.eleven40-pro-blue input:hover[type="reset"],
.eleven40-pro-blue input:hover[type="submit"],
.eleven40-pro-blue .archive-pagination a:hover,
.eleven40-pro-blue .archive-pagination li.active a {
background-color: #2aa4cf;
}

.eleven40-pro-blue .entry-title a:hover,
.eleven40-pro-blue .genesis-nav-menu a:hover,
.eleven40-pro-blue .genesis-nav-menu .current-menu-item > a,
.eleven40-pro-blue .nav-primary .sub-menu a:hover,
.eleven40-pro-blue .nav-secondary .sub-menu a:hover,
.eleven40-pro-blue .site-footer a:hover,
.eleven40-pro-blue .site-header .sub-menu a:hover {
/*color: #2aa4cf;*/
color: #191970;
}

Blue is selected. That is why I think something happened with my changes to set it to orange.

[HelpfulScout]

I thought I changed it how you said and now 1) my subpages are showing links in orange? and 2) the main page didn't update. I guess I don't quite understand.

Marking my own question as resolved. See the thread in the design forum (best place to post for this).

Thank you for mentioning Chrome developer tools. I can see how that helps a lot!! I have downloaded chrome and it really helps to know which area is which. Now I just need to finish my color fixes (requires patience due to the caching).

[HelpfulScout]

Hooray! Thank you! The title bar is a nice shade of blue now. I'll get working on the other ones. For some reason, it takes ~3-5 minutes from editing the file for it to show up in my browser, even if I force a reload. Caching I guess. Once I solve the remaining colors, I'll see if there is anything else I want to fix style wise. I'm much happier with this theme than I was with my old one.

Thanks! I started with the header and changed it (to a horrible color, but I wanted to see if it worked and it doesn't seem to). The code I changed is:

.site-header {
background: #ff0000
/*url(images/texture.png);*/
min-height: 65px;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;
}
