I am struggling with changing the color of my font in my nav bar button eg. Home to white. In my style.css file I first used .navbar-nav li but then the padding did not work, when I changed it to .navbar-nav ul the padding then worked. I then had to use .navbar-nav li a for the next style syntax to work and all seem to work except for the color syntax. Please advise what I am doing wrong for the color syntax not to work.
The color syntax again does not work in my .fa-bars class conditions but the font size in that class does work.
The last problem I seem to have is that the syntax in my .promo-title class does not work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Your selector specificity isn't high enough, so the Bootstrap styles take precedence. A quick look at your browser's document inspector reveals this. Use a more specific selector.
The same is true for the button (but you should remove the default Bootstrap icon).

You have specific classes for your <li>
and <a>
elements but you're not actually using them as far as I can see but then you're styling them in the navbar-nav
class. Remove the classes from the inner elements and your overall style class will do it's job.

You can use
a.nav-link{
color:#fff!important;
}
