bootstrap 3 navbar branding colour

css, twitter-bootstrap, twitter-bootstrap-3

Solution

This is a specificity issue. The declaration contained in Bootstrap's CSS is more specific than yours. Please write your declaration this way:

.navbar-default .navbar-brand {
    color: #d6d6d6;
}

Simply using `.navbar-brand` is less specific and thus ignored. You may read a little bit about specificity here.

Problem

I am using the bootstrap 3 navbar but cant for some reason change the brand text colour nor the dropdown triangles. i've tried a couple of things, but still no luck... ``` .navbar .nav > .navbar-brand > a { text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); color: #d6d6d6; } .navbar-brand { text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); color: #d6d6d6; } .navbar-brand a{ text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); color: #d6d6d6; } ```
