Css – Why does my dropdown menu turn blue when I hover on dropdown items?

My bootstrap is making my dropdown color turn blue when I hover over a dropdown item. I put the code below, and I can’t figure out how to change it. I think it is bootstrap. I was able to remove the dropdown items turning blue, but I can’t change the title of the dropdown.

Current output:

Bootstrap is not on the code snippet FYI. I have tried online suggestions, but none of them worked.

    I figured it out. I had to put the style in the actual html code for it to work. Thanks for your help!

    Did you try something like

    .nav-link:hover {
    color: #fff;
}

    in this case you trigger the nav-link directly.

    here is the codepen of this.
