To alter or add css styles when using Bootstrap you need to create a new css stylesheet and link it to the page AFTER the link to the default bootstrap.min.css file. If you do not link your newly created css stylesheet AFTER then the css styles will not take effect
Then in your newly attached css stylesheet:
Either add the below (and remove the 'bg-dark' class from the navbar)
.navbar {
background-color: blue!important; /* or whatever hex value you require */
}
OR change the existing selectors color...
.bg-dark {
background-color: blue!important; /* or whatever hex value you require */:
}
Does any of that make any sense???
Whatever you do DO NOT alter the default Bootstrap css file.
