Bootstrap navbar background colour of dropdown menu item

Question

How do I change the background colour of a drop-down item when it is clicked?

I'm using a navbar and 1 of the items, "SERVICES", is a dropdown. When on a page other than "SERVICES", clicking on the dropdown will show a grey background for that item. How do I target this item in css to change the background colour to something else?

I'm using the navbar and dropdown from bootstrap 3.3.2.

Here's a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7jLm8btr/1/

Here's the html for the navbar:

    <div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="navbar-header">

                <button class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-responsive-collapse">
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                </button>

                <a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img class="ManeEventLogo" src="/img/logos/ManeEventBrown.png"></a>
            </div>

            <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-responsive-collapse">

                <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
                    <li>
                        <a href="/index.php">HOME</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="dropdown">
                        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">SERVICES <span class="caret"></span></a>
                            <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">

apply your css to this rule :

    .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .open > a, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .open > a:hover, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .open > a:focus {
    background: black;
}
