Change color of close button in bootstrap modal window

I'm using modal window with boostrap. I've already changed the background and font color, but I did not succed changing the upper right close button to white.

<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true" class="modal_button">&times;</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>

Here's my css attribute

.modal-header {
  border-top: 1px solid white;
  border-left: 1px solid white;
  border-right: 1px solid white;
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 23px;
  color: white;
  background-color: #261f31;
  border-bottom: 0px;
}

I would like to turn the X button in white

Solution

  • Bootstrap is setting the color like this:

    .close {
  float: right;
  font-size: 21px;
  font-weight: 700;
  line-height: 1;
  color: #000;
  text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #fff;
  filter: alpha(opacity=20);
  opacity: .2;
}

    So you can override it with this:

    .close {
    color: #fff; 
    opacity: 1;
}
