  I tried to ask the question on the forum, but for some reason my topic appears automatically closed.

  I have premium on trial now, so I was looking around a bit. But customize > colors doesnt seem to have to possibilities to set up colors like it is described with demo 2 where the main menu color is changed as well. I see no “theme color 1 and theme color 2” There is the option to change the color of links & header, but that doesn’t affect the main menu. Could you help me out please?

  Regards,

  Hello there!

  Because you have the Premium trial, you can make changes to your CSS code. The custom design feature, which comes with the Premium upgrade, is available to you now.

  If you’d like to give this a try, click Appearance → Customize in your site’s Dashboard. Then, click CSS in your right-hand menu. In the CSS Revisions box, please paste the following underneath all existing text:

  .main-nav {
  background: #CC0000;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  }

  Then Save your changes.

  I arbitrarily chose a red color, so you can see what happens with this adjustment. You can adjust the color (which appears as #CC0000 in the code I gave you), by replacing it with a different hex color. You can find codes for hex colors here:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
