Change background color of navigation bar

Hi there

I tried to change the color of the navigation bar, but it does not seem to work. Using Bootstrap 4.

HTML

<body data-spy="scroll" data-target="#mynavbar" data-offset="100" id="willkommen"> <!-- Create navigation bar --> <nav class="navbar"> <!-- Create button for hamburger menu --> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-1 offset-xs-10"> <button class="navbar-toggler hidden-sm-up" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#mynavbar"></button> </div> </div>

CSS .navbar { background-color: #00b4c5; }

Hey Lisa!

This worked for me:

nav {
  background-color: #00b4c5;
}

Let me know if that solves your problem!

Does not work for me. But I figured that this does:

body .navbar { background-color: #00b4c5; }

Thanks so much for your reply!
