try navbar-inverse , https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/navbar/ more about navbar, and if something not changing just Overwrite it by your own CSS and if it also no works you should use "!important" after your CSS line :) but before ";"

You can try the class "text-white" in the navbar ;)

Make your own css code below its important so lvel 2 priority level 1 is just writing on hard in html with style atribute this will be the last option and it have to work :) also background sometimes in bootstrap is background-image so always chcech it in documentation

color: white!important;
