I agree with you, that the menu background is likely just the normal desktop appearance background color. The guesses I had were from looking though the config files at where the various menu elements were set. There is very little that distinguishes the kicker taskbar/panel settings from kmenu itself.
Just a quick P.S., dunno if it helps.
I took a quick look through the list of choices in TCC > Appearance & Themes > Colors trying to find whatever choice determines the pop-up menu color (as shown in my screenshots). And I did find something interesting.
Get this, the only choice available where the hue matches my own menu is called "Button Background"; I wouldn't imagine that a menu is a button, but maybe it's because users can click on the icon, and the menu pops up?
Anyway, that seems to be the culprit; which leads to the next question: What is the color of the text in the menu? Sure enough, it's called "Button Text".
You will no doubt want to experiment more, until you find your own sweet spots, where everything both looks freakin coooool and is also legible and useful. But at least there may be a start for you to solve that problem.
