Wix Studio Editor

**What I’m trying to do**  
The outcome I’m trying to achieve is a change in colour of the hover effect on the navigation menu.

**What I’ve tried so far**  
I’ve already changed and tested the hover effect but not sure how to change its colour on the right-hand-side of the menu editor as seen on one of the screenshots below.

**Extra context**  
Anything else that might help - edge cases, screenshots, etc.
