Change color of bootstrap navbar on hover link?

Question

I want to know how to change the color of the links when you hover over them in the nav bar, as currently they are an ugly color.

Thanks for any suggestions?

HTML:

<div class="container">     <div class="navbar">         <div class="navbar-inner">             <ul class="nav">                 <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>                 <li><a href="#">Link One</a></li>                 <li><a href="#">Link Two</a></li>                 <li><a href="#">Link Three</a></li>             </ul>         </div>     </div> </div> 

Answer 1

For Bootstrap 3 this is how I did this based on the default Navbar structure:

.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:hover, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a:focus {     background-color: #FFFF00;     color: #FFC0CB; } 

Answer 2

This is cleaner:

ul.nav a:hover { color: #fff !important; } 

There's no need to get more specific than this. Unfortunately, the !important is necessary in this instance.

I also added :focus and :active to the same declaration for accessibility reasons and for smartphone/tablet/touchscreen users.
