Any luck with this out there?

I've tried adding to the registry and command-line ('-xrm' options).

There seem to be a couple different names for the variables:
'Emacs.menu*.background' and 'Emacs.menubar.Background'.

Here's the regedit:

REGEDIT4 
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs] 
"Emacs.menubar.Background"="midnight blue"
