I have a material design WordPress theme that I downloaded.
It did not have the colors that I liked so I edited the .css file and was changing colors around. I got all the colors right but not the top bar.
You can see the purple top bar here:
www.beerportfolio.glass
I played around with inspect element on chrome and got the bar to change color with this:
.inverse.navbar {
background-color: #E2AD13;
color: rgba(255,255,255,.84);
}
But I think something is overriding that in css, cause it doesn’t take when I actually edit the real css file and upload it.
I even tried with !important tags as you can see in the full css below:

Try with following css
It’s better to don’t use !important. Instead of that you can change the specificity. If you are interested in how it works, take a look at: http://specificity.keegan.st/
