As the title says when I click a dropdown menu a light blue highlight forms around it. And wont go away until I focus somewhere else. I've searched around and can't find where to remove it or at least change the color of it. Anyone have any ideas?

~~That's supplied by the browser itself and is not something which can be configured at the product level, short of possibly being able to prevent the focus styling entirely. I recommend against this, even if it is possible.~~  
You can overwrite the `--callToAction--hover` value supplied within the theme files.

Thanks for the info. I think for now I am going to leave it but if not I'll try what you mentioned. Thank you.
