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

Yes, it is possible to override the background color in a Webflow symbol. When you create a symbol in Webflow, it essentially becomes a reusable component that you can place throughout your project. By default, the styles applied to a symbol, including the background color, will stay consistent across all instances of that symbol.

However, if you want to override the background color for a specific instance of a symbol, you can do so by selecting the symbol instance on your canvas or in the Navigator panel and then applying custom styles to it.

Here's how you can override the background color of a symbol instance:

1. Select the symbol instance: Click on the symbol instance either on the canvas or in the Navigator panel.

2. Override the background color: In the Style tab of the right sidebar, you can modify the background color by either selecting a new color from the color picker or entering a custom color code. You can also use classes to style the symbol instance, which will give you more flexibility in terms of styling options.

3. Apply the new styles: Once you've set the desired background color, it will override the default styles of the symbol for that specific instance. The symbol itself will remain unchanged, but the instance will have its own unique background color.

Keep in mind that by overriding the background color for a symbol instance, you're essentially breaking the connection to the original symbol's styles. This means that any changes made to the original symbol's background color will not automatically update on the overridden instance. If you want to revert back to the original background color or update it later, you'll need to manually adjust the styles for that specific instance.

Overall, Webflow allows you to have both consistent styles across symbol instances and the ability to customize individual instances, providing flexibility in designing your website.
