Thanks for the info.
Ok looking at the page with the tool you mentioned it looks like the color I wanted to change is in the main css style sheet for my theme - which is why I guess that other peoples forums (menus) have a different look.
It seems odd to me that I can change forum menu specifics like link colour and 'button' colours but I can't change the colour of the actual drop down menu itself unless I want to modify the main theme.
Well I don't want to change anything else in the theme so I have settled for changing the text colours on the menu to make them appear to be connected to the rest of the theme.
I suppose if it bothers me enough I could perhaps make a new class in the newbb.css file and use that for the menus??
As it is I am happy enough to leave it.

EDIT:
for your info I am pretty sure this is where you change the colour of the background on those drop down menus:
.head
{
font-weight: bold;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: left;
color: #373737;
height: 24px;
line-height: 22px;
text-align: center;
[b]background-color: #DFE2E6;[/b]
}
Which is in the css file
in your theme folder. (not the newbb folder)
