  Hello! You’ll want to use this selector and change the “background-color”:

  .main-navigation ul ul

  Make sure you choose a color that’s dark enough that your font is still readable though!

  Let me know if I can help further!

  Thanks for your reply. Would you also be able to tell me how I change the background-colour? I have no knowledge of code so hoping to just cut and paste the whole piece of code(s) if I can. Thanks again.
