  Most of my readers are over 60 and the faint color/density of the submenu in this template is difficult to see. I would like to have the submenus just as “bright” or “dense” as the parent topics and then enhance the parent topic just a little to make it stand out as it was originally. This is a great template, just need this little tweak to help our members.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello @parcvolunteer17,

  If you’re referring to these submenus in gray – https://i.imgur.com/sl63leo.png, with your WordPress plan you can change the colors by adding custom css in your Customizer.

  1. Click this link: https://wordpress.com/customize/w5wx.net
  2. Go to CSS on the side menu.
  3. Then put in this code:

  .main-navigation li li a {
  	color: #FFFFFF;

  4. You can change the hex value (FFFFFF) to a different color if you want. You can refer to this link for colors: http://htmlcolorcodes.com/
  5. Click Save and Publish button.

  You can find more information from this link:

  Let me know if you got stuck anywhere, so I can further assist you.

  Regards,
  Rose

  Am I correct in determining that Delicacy theme (retired) does not have a CSS input method? The links are to very predetermined allowable basic changes.
  My only options are:

  Site ID
  Colors & Background
  Fonts
  Header Image
  Menus
  Widget
  STatic Front Page
  Freatured Content

  @annedh52, to add custom CSS, you would need the WordPress.com Premium or Business plan, which include Custom Design and the ability to add custom CSS.
