Menu text color after hovering isn't same as before hovering

[Alan]

Thanks to Appearance > Editor, I changed the menu bar color, and then (to restore legibility) I changed menu text colors for both before and during hovering. I’m all good EXCEPT the text color after hovering is still not legibile. Where can I find this value to change it?

thanks,
Alan

whats your site address?

thanks!

FYI, it doesn’t seem to be anywhere in “style.css”, as even when I temporarily changed every instance of “#fff” in that file to another color as an experiment, the color in question remained the default white.

The site is now in its root directory. Until the problem is solved, I have substituted different colors to keep it legible.

what color do you want it to be upon hover?

[Alan]

While hovering, I’m OK with the current dark blue, which I believe was the default. After hovering without clicking, however, the link needs to return to the initial color, the color I am already able to edit under “/*Headers4*/” in the Editor. In other words, hovering without clicking should not have a permanent effect.

If this dependence can not be made automatic, the next best thing would be to know where I can edit the after-color, so I do not have to commit to a color choice permanently.

If however I must commit, I would use black. Under “/*Headers4*/” I would then change the initial color to black as well, and the background to #f3f3f3.

but this is whats happening. when you hover over the menu items and then move your mouse pointer without clicking, the menu item color goes back to white.

[Alan]

That is only because, as I said before, “Until the problem is solved, I have substituted different colors to keep it legible.” Namely, white on dark gray.

Here’s a demonstration (using a separate css file) of the problem behavior:

Was this ever rectified? How do we change the color after it’s been hovered over?

Sam can you please elaborate?
