Active link not changing color

[bp_travis]

Hello there. I am working on a new webpage that CSS style sheets came with already. Rather than make a brand new one, I am working with what is came with. I can't figure out how to make the active link's text color work correctly though. I can get the active page's link background to change, but not the text color. Here is a sample of the CSS. Maybe someone knows how to fix it.

#primary-nav a { 
   border: 1px solid #006699; 
   display: block; 
   margin: 0px; 
   padding: 5px 10px; 
   color: #000000;
   text-decoration: none; 
   background: transparent; 
   min-height:1em;
}
#primary-nav li, #primary-nav li.menuparent { 
   background-color: #B8AE9C; 
   min-height:1em;
}


/* Styling the basic apperance of the active page elements (shows what page in the menu is being displayed) */
#primary-nav li.menuactive { 
   background-color: #595241;
   color: #FFFFFF;
}

Not sure what the .menu stuff is after the styles but maybe someone does. Thanks.

You need to change the colour of the <a> itself, not just the <li>, so add :

#primary-nav li.menuactive a { 
   color: #FFFFFF;
}
