Nav Bar Toggle Not Turning Text White

Question

I can't understand why the text on the nav bar (when opened wit the Burger Menu) doesn't go white. I have tried everything to make it go white.

Please help me identify why the text won't go white when the hamburger menu is open.

My Code

//Nav Bar

const navSlide = () =>{
    const burger = document.querySelector('.burger');
    const nav = document.querySelector('.nav-links');
    const navLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.nav-links li');

// Toggle Nav
    burger.addEventListener('click',()=>{
        nav.classList.toggle('nav-active');


    //Animate Links
    navLinks.forEach((link, index)=>{
        if(link.style.animation){
            link.style.animation = '';
        } else {
        link.style.animation = `navLinkFade 0.5s ease forwards ${index / 7 + 0.5}s`
        }
   
    })
    //Burger Animation

    burger.classList.toggle('toggle');

})

}

navSlide();

nav{
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-around;
    align-items: center;
    min-height: 8vh;
    font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;

                <div class="line3"></div>

            </div>
        </nav>

Help Greatly Appreciated!

The issue appears to be in the classes that I am adding (or making applicable through the media queries, that are not actually working in practice).

Solution

Change,

.nav-links a li{
    opacity: 1;
    color: white;
 }

.nav-links li a{
    opacity: 1;
    color: white;
}

Please make sure you follow the right order in mentioning the css selector.

You have mentioned .nav-links a li but actual order is .nav-links li a

Modified Snippet as follows,

//Nav Bar

const navSlide = () =>{
    const burger = document.querySelector('.burger');
    const nav = document.querySelector('.nav-links');
    const navLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.nav-links li');

// Toggle Nav
    burger.addEventListener('click',()=>{
        nav.classList.toggle('nav-active');


    //Animate Links
    navLinks.forEach((link, index)=>{
        if(link.style.animation){
            link.style.animation = '';
        } else {
        link.style.animation = `navLinkFade 0.5s ease forwards ${index / 7 + 0.5}s`
        }
   
    })
    //Burger Animation

    burger.classList.toggle('toggle');

})
