Sure, please use this CSS code: 

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap #wpforo-menu #wpf-menu li.wpforo-active a{
      color: ***#680029*** !important;
}

And is it also possible to make the text white in that active item so it reads a bit better?

Use the CSS code below: 

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap #wpforo-menu #wpf-menu li.wpforo-active{
      background-color: ***#680029*** !important;
}

Please insert the code in the "Custom CSS Code" testarea. 

Change the red-marked value before using it.

I want to change a color but I cannot find which item it is I have to adjust on Forum settings, Colors & Styles.

-- attachment is not available --

I want to change the darker grey color from the active item in the menu (see screenshot above). For this example I want the background color for Forum to be blue.

Where and how can I change that?
