This must be an easy question but I’m coming up blank. I have a grav website that uses a theme derived from antimatter. There isn’t much in my theme, it mostly inherits. Everything works just fine.

I want to change some colors around. Specifically I want to change the background color of the footer. As I say, this must be easy. I can see there is a _footer.scss in themesantimatterscsstemplate which has background: $footer-bg; in it, which looks like where I need to be. I find two places where $footer-bg is defined, both _colors.scss in scssconfigurationtemplate directories in the antimatter theme and in my custom theme, which inherits from antimatter. I have run scss --watch scss:css-compiled on both themes, cleared my cache, and refreshed the page. I still see the old background color.

both of my _colors.scss files have

$footer-bg:                     #c7254e;

(which is redish, but it shows the old color, a dark grey)

It seems like I did the obvious here, but what did I miss?

I also tried adding this to mythemecsscustom.css

footer {
    background: white;
}

but it didn’t make any difference.

My Grav version is v1.7.46, it uses PHP Version 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.17
