Sometimes, when designing a website, we encounter issues that seem initially quite simple, but when we dig deeper, we realize that these problems may stem from tiny details that are nonetheless important. One such issue is the failure to display the specified colors on the site. Assume that a value designated in the CSS code should show a red color; in reality, it may not appear as such and the same default color remains.
The first thing to check is whether the correct color value is specified in the CSS file. However, this problem could be due to various different reasons. Is the class or ID properly associated with the element you're intending to modify? Or is there an overriding CSS rule from another style sheet that takes precedence? Perhaps the styles might conflict with higher-specificity CSS rules or for other external CSS files that change the display.
To be sure, you can use developer tools in your browser. These tools allow you to examine all the applied CSS rules on a specific element and check if any other rules are overriding it.
Now let's look at an example that can help you solve this issue.
<style>
.price-blue { color: blue; }
.price-red { color: red; }
</style>
Price: €22.37
First and foremost: make sure that the class used is the same one defined in the HTML and CSS files, such as class="price-red", which should be properly used wherever it's required.
In the <style> section located within the <head>, two classes are defined. Ensure that the class price-red is added to the <span> element to apply the color “red” to the price.
Also, ensure that no other CSS rules have a higher specificity that could create unwanted layering, causing the specified color not to be effectively displayed on the element. To do this, you can make use of the developer tools to investigate any extraneous conflicts.
