CSS menu colors

Question

I need to differentiate colors of currently selected (i.e. active) links that are parts of the main menu vs active items that are part of a submenu.

The CSS code that I'm using for dropdown menus doesn't distinguish between active main menu items vs active submenu items. How can I change that?

I need active main menu items to remain #FEEC00 with a black background, but change active submenu items to black with a #FEEC00 background. How do I accomplish that?
