Mobile menu background too bright


I'm not a programmer or a designer but I've managed to install the software and set up a new theme. First impressions are good, although I did come across some errors when I ran the setup wizard. I installed the latest update and it worked second time around.
The problem is that the mobile dropdown menu background is really bright compared to everything else and it has white text. It's so bright that it hurts my eyes. It would look fine if it was the same as the desktop site. I've spent a couple of hours going through CSS files but I can't fathom it. Can anyone help? It would be nice to get it sorted so I can start work on the functionality.
Thanks


Is this on the default theme, or a Theme Wizard theme (ala Setup Wizard builds)? If Theme Wizard theme, what seed colour was used? You can find it in the themes/<theme>/theme.ini file if you can't remember (I think).

Code
.menu_type__mobile ul {
background-color: {$GET,area_6_background};
}
It is a bit too bright on the default theme, but my guess is particular seed choices make it worse. I'll tweak it a bit for the next RC.

These will be the new defaults. I flipped it from a dark-base to a light-base, but added a bottom shadow because we need to somehow make it distinguished from what it is overlaying.
