To change the color of the tabs link in Webflow when clicked, you can follow these steps:

Select the tab link element: Identify the specific tab link element that you want to modify the color for. This could be a link within a tab component or a custom tab navigation you have built.
Navigate to the Styles panel: Once you have selected the tab link element, go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
Find the Normal state: Look for the "Normal" state in the Interactions section of the Styles panel. This is where you can define the initial appearance of the tab link before it is clicked.
Set the color for the Normal state: In the "Normal" state section, locate the color property (usually labeled "Text Color" or "Color") and choose the desired color for the tab link when it is not clicked.
Create a new state: Next, find the "Clicked" state within the Interactions section. This is where you will define the appearance of the tab link after it has been clicked.
Set the color for the Clicked state: In the "Clicked" state section, locate the color property and choose the color that you want the tab link to change to when it is clicked.
Customize other states (optional): Webflow also allows you to define different appearances for additional states such as "Hover" or "Current". If you wish to customize these states, follow the same procedure as above.
Preview and publish: Once you have made the necessary changes to the tab link colors, preview your website to see how the tabs behave when clicked. If you are satisfied with the results, don't forget to publish your changes to make them live on your website.

Example:

/* Normal state */.tab-link {  color: blue;}/* Clicked state */.tab-link:focus,.tab-link:active {  color: red;}

By following these steps, you will be able to change the color of the tabs link in Webflow when clicked. Remember that you can also use custom CSS code to modify the appearance of the tab links, allowing for more advanced customization if needed.
