The issue you are experiencing where the text block color is not changing in the Webflow design but showing a link color in the published site can occur due to a few reasons. Here are some possible causes and solutions to help you troubleshoot the issue:

  1. CSS specificity: The link color may be overriding the text block color due to the CSS specificity. Links often have their own default styles, which can take precedence over the text block styles. To fix this, you can increase the specificity of the text block color by adding a class or increasing the specificity of the existing class.

  2. CSS inheritance: The text block color might be inheriting the link color from a parent element. Check if there are any parent elements with set link styles or styles that affect the text block color. You can override the inherited styles by adding a class or modifying the existing class specifically for the text block element.

  3. CSS conflicts: There might be a CSS conflict within your project that is causing the issue. Check if there are any conflicting styles applied to the text block or link elements. Ensure that there are no conflicting classes or styles that could interfere with the desired color settings.

  4. Cache issue: Sometimes, changes made to the styles might not be reflected immediately due to browser cache. Clear your browser cache or try opening the published site in a different browser to see if the issue persists.

Remember to save your changes and publish the site after making any adjustments to ensure the updates are reflected on the live site.

Overall, these are some common causes for the text block color not changing in Webflow design but showing a link color in the published site. By troubleshooting these potential issues, you should be able to resolve the problem and achieve the desired text block color.
