Why

Color.White

doesn’t work? but other colors like

Color.Red

Color.Blue

works! 🧵

I am trying to change my

TextField

background color to white

TextField(
        value = value,
        onValueChange = onValueChange,
        modifier = modifier.background(Color.White),
    )

but it doesn’t work. Any idea ? 🤔 (other colors work though)

What does “work” mean?

calling

.background(Color.White)

doesn’t do anything.

Does it work with BasicTextField? Some of the material components do some color matching and so if your theme has White in it i wonder if text field is doing something like that

ahh.. interesting. let me try with BasicTextField.

UPDATE: It works with

BasicTextField

Is there white in your theme?

Nope. Here’s a reproducible repo if you want : https://github.com/theapache64/WhiteIssue/

It looks like TextField has its own colors parameter and there's some color stuff in TextFieldDefaults. I guess that's the way to set the background color

yeah. i was confused why it doesn’t work for one specific color.
