I would like to have the Navbar background be a different color than the background of the collapsed menu.
I believe I found an answer to this, but would appreciate any further comments or alternate solutions, as this seems to be a bit hacky...
.navbar {background-color: #8e181b;}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a, .navbar-default .navbar-brand {color: #f1f1f1;}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:hover,
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:focus {color: #f1f1f1; background-color: #b27677;}
@media only screen and (max-width: 766px) {
.collapsing, .in {background-color: #f7f7f7;}
.collapsing ul li a, .in ul li a {color: #555!important;}
.collapsing ul li a:hover, .in ul li a:hover {color: #f1f1f1!important;}
}
