[css] Change icon-bar (?) color in bootstrap

I want to change ? color.

HTML:

<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#menu">
  <span class="sr-only">Toggle menu navigation</span>
  <span class="icon-bar"></span>
  <span class="icon-bar"></span>
  <span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>

I tried various things (look bellow) but nothing works.

CSS:

.icon-bar {
  color: black;
  border-color: black;
  background-color: black;
}

I do not know if your still looking for the answer to this problem but today I happened the same problem and solved it. You need to specify in the HTML code,

**<Div class = "navbar"**>
         div class = "container">
               <Div class = "navbar-header">

or

**<Div class = "navbar navbar-default">**
        div class = "container">
               <Div class = "navbar-header">

You got that place in your CSS

.navbar-default-toggle .navbar .icon-bar {
  background-color: # 0000ff;
}

and what I did was add above

.navbar .navbar-toggle .icon-bar {
  background-color: # ff0000;
}

Because my html code is

**<Div class = "navbar">**
         div class = "container">
               <Div class = "navbar-header">

and if you associate a file less / css

search this section and also here placed the color you want to change, otherwise it will self-correct the css file to the state it was before

// Toggle Navbar
@ Navbar-default-toggle-hover-bg: #ddd;
**@ Navbar-default-toggle-icon-bar-bg: # 888;**
@ Navbar-default-toggle-border-color: #ddd;

if your html code is like mine and is not navbar-default, add it as you did with the css.

// Toggle Navbar
@ Navbar-default-toggle-hover-bg: #ddd;
**@ Navbar-toggle-icon-bar-bg : #888;**
@ Navbar-default-toggle-icon-bar-bg: # 888;
@ Navbar-default-toggle-border-color: #ddd;

good luck

In bootstrap 4.3.1 I can change the background color of the toggler icon to white via the css code.

.navbar-toggler{
  background-color:white;
  }

And in my opinion the so changed icon looks fine as well on light as on dark background.

I am using Bootstrap & HTML5. I wanted to override the look of the toggle button.

.navbar-toggle{
    background-color: #5DADB0;
    color: #F3DBAA;
    border:none;        
}

.navbar-toggle.but-menu:link {
    color: #F00;
    background-color: #CF995F;
}

.navbar-toggle.but-menu:visited {
    color: #FFF;
    background-color: #CF995F;
}
.navbar-toggle.but-menu:hover {
    color: #FFF0C9;
    background-color: #CF995F;
}
.navbar-toggle.but-menu:active {
    color: #FFF;
    background-color: #CF995F;
}
.navbar-toggle.but-menu:focus {
    color: #FFF;
    background-color: #CF995F;
}

Try over-riding CSS using !important

like this

.icon-bar {
   background-color:#FF0000 !important;
}

Just one line of coding is enough.. just try this out. and you can adjust even thicknes of icon-bar with this by adding pixels.

HTML

<div class="navbar-header">
  <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#defaultNavbar1" aria-expanded="false"><span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>

  <span class="icon-bar"></span>
  <span class="icon-bar"></span>
  <span class="icon-bar"></span>

  </button>
  <a class="navbar-brand" href="#" <span class="icon-bar"></span><img class="img-responsive brand" src="img/brand.png">
  </a></div>

CSS

    .navbar-toggle, .icon-bar {
    border:1px solid orange;
}

BOOM...

Dude I know totally how you feel, but don't forget about inline styling. It is almost the super saiyan of the CSS specificity

So it should look something like this for you,

<span class="icon-bar" style="background-color: black !important;">
</span>
<span class="icon-bar" style="background-color: black !important;">
</span>
<span class="icon-bar" style="background-color: black !important;">
</span>
