 Your About button is assigned the class .active.

 It looks to me like .active has assigned #ccc background color. Just
 change .active to be something else.

 History button also has .active assigned to it, and .first-child as
 well, so look for those definition in the CSS. However, since you're
 on the History page, the id value #current takes precendence -- the
 blue background (except for when you mouse over it, which
 involves :hover). #current takes precedence because it is defined
 later in the css file. [If #current wasn't defined later than .active
 in the CSS, The history button would look like the About button.]

 p.s. I've pasted your CSS definitions below.

 .sf-menu .active {

         background: #ccc;

 }

 .sf-menu #current {

         background: #202f6a;

 }

  article which is correct in the way I have arranged things. However,

   The background has two pound signs (#), it should be only 1. And

Haven't looked closely at the css but just wanted to point out one
thing.  The order in which items appear in the style sheet is only one
piece of the puzzle as to what is applied.  Specificity is the
larger.  You can actually assign a numerical value to a selector to
decide if it is more specific than another and hence will have its
rule applied.  For example take these three selections applied to this
code.

a href class=anyclass id=anyid ...

#anyid {background: orange;}
a {background: yellow;}
a.anyclass {background: red;}

all of these css rules select the same a element and even though the
red background appears last in the list the one that will be applied
is the orange.

Heres how it works.

An ID is given a rating or specific value of 100
A class 10
an element 1

you can add up the numbers in any css rule to see which is more
specific and will be applied.  in our preceding example

orange = 100
yellow = 1
red = 11

Hope that helps somewhat.  And by the way if two have the same value
the last one to appear in the stylesheet will be the rule that
applies.
