What could be causing the background-color in Chrome Dev Tools to appear faded instead of crossed out?

I have a few queries to share. I noticed that the background of my menu bar is white, but when I remove a specific class from an element further down on the page, the menu bar turns black. I am perplexed as to why changing the style of an HTML section element in a distant location affects the color of the navigation bar. To investigate, I opened Chrome Dev Tools and examined the menu section to understand how it obtains its color. The background-color property is displayed at the very end of this picture and appears 'faded', without being crossed out.

In Chrome Dev Tools, the background-color appears as white - the color I desire, yet the menu remains black. Upon adding element.style { background-color: white }, the menu returns to white.

Queries:

  1. What does it mean for a property to be faded out in Chrome Dev Tools (as opposed to crossed out)?
  2. Do you have any ideas or suggestions for why the background of a menu div would unexpectedly change to black?

Thank you, Dean

Answer №1

After removing the parallax.js installation, the issue was resolved. It seems that the plugin dynamically applied styling which was not visible in Chrome's CSS tools, making debugging difficult. Once parallax was uninstalled, Chrome functioned as expected and I was able to easily debug the CSS. (It is unclear if this is a bug/issue with Chrome or with the parallax plugin).
