Can color properties of component instances in Webflow be changed? If not, what are the workarounds?

TL;DR
  1. Symbols in Webflow maintain their original styling; color properties set within a symbol or component instance typically can’t be overridden directly.
  2. Workarounds include:
    (a) Using combo classes on elements within the symbol so you can vary colors when needed.
    (b) Breaking apart the symbol (detach instance) if unique styling is essential.
    (c) Leveraging CMS-driven content or custom code to dynamically style elements.

Key Takeaway: Plan your symbols with flexibility by using combo classes or CMS fields to allow for color variations.
