To change the font color of the selected item in a dropdown menu on your Webflow site, you can use custom code or the built-in styling options. Here are the steps to accomplish this:

  1. Using custom code:
  • Go to the Designer panel and select the page where the dropdown menu is located.
  • Click on the "Custom Code" tab in the top toolbar.
  • In the "Head Code" section, add the following CSS code:
    ```css ```
  • Replace #FF0000 with the hexadecimal color code of your desired font color.
  • Save and publish your site to see the changes take effect.
  1. Using built-in styling options:
  • Open the Designer panel and select the dropdown element or the target class.
  • In the Style tab, scroll down to the "Text" section.
  • Click on the color selector icon to choose your desired font color from the color picker.
  • If the selected item's font color remains the same despite changing the color in the Designer, try overriding the default style like this:
    • In the Selector field, add the following class:
      .w-dropdown-list option:checked
    • Apply the desired font color using the color picker.
  • Save and publish your site to see the changes reflected in the selected item's font color.

These steps will allow you to change the font color of the selected item in a dropdown menu on your Webflow site. Experiment with different colors and ensure that the selected font color stands out and remains legible for a better user experience.
