What could be causing the gray color on the live site in Webflow, even though there is no color set on the 'Join our team body' div block?

There could be several reasons why the gray color is appearing on the live site in Webflow despite no color set on the 'Join our team body' div block. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Default background color: Check if there is a default background color set for the body or any other parent element. If there is, it might be causing the gray color to appear. To fix this, you can change the default background color to the desired color or remove it altogether.

  2. Inherited background color: Another possibility is that the 'Join our team body' div block is inheriting a background color from its parent or ancestor elements. Inspect the styles of the parent elements and check if any background color is being applied. To resolve this, you can either remove the background color from the parent element or explicitly set a background color for the 'Join our team body' div block to override the inherited value.

  3. CSS styling conflict: It is possible that there is a CSS styling conflict causing the gray color to appear. Check if there are any CSS classes or inline styles applied to the 'Join our team body' div block that might be overriding the intended background color. Review the styles applied to the element and its cascading order to identify any conflicts. To resolve this, you can either remove the conflicting styles or modify them to achieve the desired background color.

  4. Browser caching issue: Sometimes, browsers cache website data including CSS stylesheets. If you recently made changes to the background color but it is still not reflecting on the live site, it could be a browser caching issue. Try clearing the browser cache or use the "hard refresh" option (Ctrl + Shift + R or Command + Shift + R) to reload the page and force the browser to fetch the latest version of the website.

  5. JavaScript or custom code: If you have any custom JavaScript or code snippets applied to the 'Join our team body' div block, they might be causing the gray color to appear. Review the code snippets and ensure that there is no code affecting the background color. Remove or modify any code that might be conflicting with the desired background color.

These are some possible causes for the gray color appearing on the live site in Webflow, even when no color is set on the 'Join our team body' div block. By troubleshooting these potential issues, you should be able to identify and resolve the problem.
