How to add bullet colors for <ul> or <ol> by removing their default bullets and adding a HTML entity that looks like bullets (•):
ul {
list-style: none; /* Remove list bullets */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
li {
padding-left: 16px;
}
li::before {
content: "•"; /* Insert content that looks like bullets */
padding-right: 8px;
color: blue; /* Or a color you prefer */
}
