To change the icon color in the hover state of a button in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the button element: Start by selecting the button element that contains the icon you want to modify.

  2. Navigate to the Styles panel: On the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer, you will find the Styles panel. Click on the element you want to edit to access its styling options.

  3. Add a hover state: Within the Styles panel, locate the "States" tab. Click on the "+" symbol to add a new state, and select "Hover" from the dropdown menu. This will enable you to customize the button's appearance when the user hovers over it.

  4. Edit the icon color: With the hover state selected, you can now modify the icon color. If your icon is an SVG or font-based, you can change its color by adjusting the "Color" property. This can be done by either typing a specific color value, selecting from the color picker, or inputting a custom CSS color code.

  5. Preview and publish your changes: Once you have made the desired icon color changes in the hover state, it's important to preview your website's design to ensure everything looks as intended. You can do this by selecting the "Preview" mode at the top of the Designer. If you're satisfied with the changes, publish your site to make the modifications live.

By following these steps, you will be able to change the icon color in the hover state of a button in Webflow. It's worth noting that these instructions specifically target buttons with icons, but you can apply similar steps to other elements with hover effects.
