 * Hi
 * I am developing a website with the Epheremis theme. The colour scheme is a shade
   of green and I would like to change the hover colour of the menu to a complementary
   colour but there is no way to do it in customisation.
 * Can somebody please explain to me what CSS I need to add in the additional CSS
   box to change the hover colour?
 * Many thanks.
 * Ian

 * Hi Ian,
 * You can change the Hover colour of the main menu items using the following CSS
 *     ```
       #site-navigation li > a:hover {
           color: red;
       }
       ```
   
 * Obviously, change “red” to whatever colour you want.
