Since upgrading to the new Menu component in 0.7.4, I can not now set the Background colour such that it displays in the browser. It displays correctly in the editor but not in Safari.

It’s difficult for us to debug this without seeing your project, can you share the project with us? 🙂

That doesn’t seem to work, can you share it via [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) Cloud?

Hi @iMac

The issue seems to be that you’ve set **different colors for light and dark mode**.

When you previewed your site in Safari, it looks like your system (or browser) was in **dark mode** , whereas in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/), you were viewing the project in **light mode**. That’s why you’re seeing a difference between how the colors appear in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) and in the browser preview.

Hope that helps 🙂
