}
.navbar-default .navbar-brand {
  color: #292929;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-brand:hover,
.navbar-default .navbar-brand:focus {
  color: #ffd4d4;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-text {
  color: #292929;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a {
  color: #292929;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:hover,
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:focus {
  color: #ffd4d4;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a,
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:hover,
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:focus {
  color: #ffd4d4;
  background-color: #ffffff;
}

    This is happening because your css is being overwritten by the default bootstrap css.

    You need to make only one change. Use .navbar.navbar-default instead of just .navbar-default everywhere, this will give your css preference over the default css.

    Here’s a good article on css specificity : https://css-tricks.com/specifics-on-css-specificity/

    .navbar.navbar-default {
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border-color: #ffffff;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-brand {
  color: #292929;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-brand:hover,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-brand:focus {
  color: #ffd4d4;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-text {
  color: #292929;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a {
  color: #292929;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:hover,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:focus {
  color: #ffd4d4;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:hover,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:focus {
  color: #ffd4d4;
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .open > a,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .open > a:hover,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .open > a:focus {
  color: #ffd4d4;
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-toggle {
  border-color: #ffffff;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:hover,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-toggle:focus {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-toggle .icon-bar {
  background-color: #292929;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-collapse,
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-form {
  border:none;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-link {
  color: #292929;
}
.navbar.navbar-default .navbar-link:hover {
  color: #ffd4d4;
}
