I'm trying to change the bottom menu bar in SL (Along with the voice and volume pop up menus above it) to pink/black. I've been through every single thing in the debug menu I thought would change the color of it, but no go. I'm also trying to change the color of menus (ex. Inventory menu) as well. Picture included to show what I'm talking about.

Anyone have any ideas?

Can't do it. This is what a lot of people have been wanting to do for a long time; customize the UI (User Interface.) There is a new First Look Dazzle version out which has different colors (lighter blue, basically, but still not customizable) that you can download and check out in the downloads area, here:

Actually, you can change the color of the SL UI. All you have to do is to SL program folder and there open the "app_settings" folder. Inside you will find a file called "colors_base.xml". Just open that one with notepad or whatever texteditor you got handy. The colors there are lset in RGB code followed by the level of transparency where 0 is fully transparent and 255 is opaque.
Here is an example:
<ButtonUnselectedBgColor value="62, 62, 62, 255"/>
The RGB value, in this case being 62,62,62, is a light gray. The 255 means that the unselected buttons backround color is fully opaque (non transparent).
Have fun editing the file and don't forget to create a backup, and to save your result ^_~
