Drop down menu with different background

I have created a CSS drop down menu which can be viewed here: http://jsfiddle.net/7ZWnJ/ and code is pasted below.

Is there anyway I can make the drop down section have a different background colour (eg: red), but main heading stays as orange?

Many thanks,
