Q:

Bootstrap dropdown clicked color

I'm using navbar from getbootstrap.com css page and i'm now editing it to fit my needs. I've done most stuff but can't figure out how to change this color here (white-ish one):

Is this :active state at all ? 
what I've tried:
.navbar .dropdown-toggle:active{
  background-color: inherit;
}

and same for .dropdown. This is the code:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right m-r-0">
                @if(Auth::check())
                <li class="dropdown">
                 <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"><img src="{{Auth::user()->avatar}}" alt="" class="profileimg">  <span class="caret"></span></a>
                 <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                     <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
                     <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
                     <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
                     <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li>
                 </ul>
             </li>
                <li></li>
                @else
             <li><a href="{{route('steamauth')}}"><img src="https://steamcommunity-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/signinthroughsteam/sits_01.png" alt=""></a></li>
             @endif
            </ul>

A:

With .navbar-default Bootstrap is targeting the following for background-color of the open navbar dropdown:
.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.open>a,
.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.open>a:focus,
.navbar-default .navbar-nav>.open>a:hover {
    color: #555;
    background-color: #e7e7e7;
}

Try targeting the following for your .navbar dropdown as you are not using .navbar-default
.navbar .navbar-nav>.open>a, 
.navbar .navbar-nav>.open>a:focus, 
.navbar .navbar-nav>.open>a:hover {
    background-color: red;
}

Here is a jsfiddle demonstrating background color setting for open dropdown (after it has been clicked).
