 * Hello! I’m just getting started making my website, and I’m having tons of trouble
   with a simple color change. (My css knowledge is very limited.)
 * When I hover over the submenu of a dropdown menu on my site, the color is the
   Pinnacle default, bright orange. I’m trying to change the background hover color
   of my submenus from that bright orange color to a different color. I’ve tried
   pasting css into the CSS customizer to no avail. Is there a theme option I’m 
   missing here, or some other css I could try?
 * Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

 * Oh wow. Never mind! After all this searching, I just came across the option to
   change the menu hover color under Basic Styling. I can’t believe it took me that
   long to find that setting. Happy to say that my issue is now resolved!
