Change Color of Bootstrap Navbar on Hover Link

Change Bootstrap navbar color when hover

The colors of the links are overridden by the a tags' default styles, so you should apply it to the a tag, not the li tag:

nav ul li:hover a {
    color: red;
}

<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Product</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">About us</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact us</a></li>
        <li class="your_account"><a href="#">Your Account</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>

Bootstrap 4 Navbar Hover BG Color

Just add the py-0 Bootstrap class to the Navbar to remove the top/bottom padding so that your custom hover color fills the height. To maintain the original height, add top/bottom padding to the nav-links.

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg py-0">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
      <img src="assets/img/logo-text.png" alt="Sample Image">
    </a>
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-controls="navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
          <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
      </button>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNavAltMarkup">
      <div class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
        <a class="nav-item nav-link active" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
        <a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">About</a>

CSS to change link or hover color:

/* change the link color */
.navbar-nav .navbar-nav .nav-link {
    color: rgba(255,255,255,.5);
}

/* change the color of active or hovered links */
.navbar-nav .nav-item.active .nav-link,
.navbar-nav .nav-item:hover .nav-link {
    color: #ffffff;
}

In Bootstrap, how do I change what color the links are in my navbar when hovering over them?

You can approach it by different ways ..

define a separate class in a separate css stylesheet and override the color by using !important :

e.g : make a class newClass in newCss.css

.newClass:hover{
   color: red !important; /*red is an example, put whatever you want*/
}

define a style tag in the html :

<style>
.newClass:hover{
   color: red !important; /*red is an example, put whatever you want*/
}

</style>

in HTML , put the class inside the anchor:

 <li class="nav-item">
 <a class=" newClass nav-link navbar-text-color-custom" href="#best-features">Kdo smo?</a></li>

By using !important you ensure that the css color red is applied to the anchor.
