To change the color of an icon in Webflow without affecting the background, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the icon element: First, locate the icon element on your page that you want to change the color of. You can do this by clicking on it in the Designer or selecting it in the Navigator panel.

  2. Open the style panel: With the icon element selected, open the Style panel on the right-hand side of the Designer interface.

  3. Select the color property: In the Style panel, scroll down until you find the "Color" property. Click on it to open the color picker.

  4. Choose a new color: Use the color picker to select a new color for your icon. You can either enter a HEX code, RGB value, or choose from the pre-defined color palettes.

  5. Disable background color inheritance: By default, icons inherit the background color of their parent element. To prevent the background color from affecting the icon, go to the "All Links" toggle at the bottom of the Style panel. Activate the toggle by clicking on it. This will ensure that the background color of the icon remains unchanged.

  6. Publish your changes: Once you're satisfied with the new color of the icon, make sure to publish your changes so they become visible on your live site.

By following these steps, you can easily change the color of an icon in Webflow without affecting the background.
