This is defined in your stylesheet (skin1.css by default, but yours may be different). Look at your "A:links" ("A:link" is the default for every link on your site) and the corresponding "hovers", "visiteds", and "actives".

There may (probably will) be several different ones, and you need to find the one that applies to the link you are trying to change elsewhere in stylesheet. In the template this will be defined as a "class".

The default navigation.tpl calls the "NavigationCellSel" and "NavigationCellWide" class links, but yours may vary. Again, check the template for the exact area you are working in. It sounds like the color you want to change (or add) is probably "active".
