When you click on a text field in your Webflow site, you may notice that the text field changes color to blue. This behavior is known as the "focus state," which indicates that the text field is selected and ready to accept input. By default, Webflow applies this blue color to the focus state of text fields.

To fix this and change the color of the focus state for text fields, follow these steps:

  1. Select the text field: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the element containing the text field you want to modify. Click on the text field to select it.

  2. Access the Styles panel: With the text field selected, go to the right-hand side of the Designer interface and click on the Styles panel.

  3. Modify the focus state color: In the Styles panel, scroll down until you find the "Focus" section. Here, you can adjust the color of the text field when it is in focus. By default, it is set to the blue color. Click on the color picker and choose a new color or enter a custom hex or RGBA value.

  4. Preview and publish: After modifying the focus state color, preview your site to see the changes in action. If you're satisfied with the new color, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can easily change the color of the focus state for text fields in your Webflow site to match your desired design or branding elements.

In summary, to fix the issue of the text field changing to blue when clicked on in your Webflow site, you need to modify the focus state color of the text field. This can be done by selecting the text field, accessing the Styles panel, and adjusting the focus state color to your preference.
