Troubleshooting the Color of Hamburger Icon in Webflow

If you're experiencing difficulties with changing the color of your hamburger icon in Webflow, there are a few possible reasons and troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check the default color settings: Double-check the default color settings of your hamburger icon and ensure that it is set to the desired color you want it to appear as. Sometimes, if you don't explicitly set a color, Webflow may default to black.

  2. Inspect the parent element: The color of the hamburger icon can be influenced by the color of its parent element. If the parent element has a specific color defined, it may override the color of the hamburger icon. Inspect the parent element and adjust its color settings to see if that resolves the issue.

  3. Inspect interactions and states: If you have interactions or states applied to your hamburger icon, they might be affecting the color. Interactions can be set to change the icon's color based on certain triggers or events. Check the settings of any interactions or states applied to the icon, and ensure they are not conflicting with your desired color change.

  4. Inherit color from text elements: Sometimes, the color of the hamburger icon may be implicitly inherited from surrounding text elements. If the text elements surrounding the hamburger icon have their text color set to black, it can affect the color of the icon. Adjust the color settings of the surrounding text elements to see if that resolves the issue.

  5. Override the color using custom code: If none of the above troubleshooting steps work, you can override the color of the hamburger icon using custom code. Identify the class or ID of the hamburger icon element in the Webflow Designer, and apply a custom CSS rule to change its color to the desired one. Keep in mind that modifying code may require basic coding knowledge.

Remember to preview your changes after applying any troubleshooting steps to see if the color of the hamburger icon changes as desired.
