Is it possible to override background color in a Webflow symbol?

Yes, you can override the background color of a Webflow Symbol using the following methods:

1. Use Symbol Overrides

• Webflow allows you to create custom overrides for some style properties, including text, images, and visibility.
• However, background colors are not natively overrideable within Webflow’s Symbol settings.

2. Apply a Class with Combo Styles

• If you need different background colors for different instances of a Symbol, you can:
• Add a global class to the Symbol’s parent div.
• Create combo classes (e.g., symbol-container red-bg, symbol-container blue-bg).
• Adjust the background color for each combo class.

3. Use Custom CSS

• Add a custom CSS block inside Page Settings under Custom Code (Before ):
  ``````
• Assign these classes within Webflow to override background colors dynamically.

4. Override Background via CSS Variables

• Define CSS variables at the project level and apply them inside Webflow:
  ``````
• You can override the --symbol-bg variable using JavaScript on different pages.

Summary

Webflow Symbols do not allow direct background color overrides. However, you can achieve this by using combo classes, custom CSS, or CSS variables to define different styles per instance.
