          you can use the below style in the required page,add this in the respective scss file and as you asked for android go with this



          .toolbar-background-md
          background-color: 'your color code here';



          if you want to maintain same through out the app put this in variable.scss



          for ios use the same method but instead of md use ios tag as below



          .toolbar-background-ios
          background-color: 'your color code here';

          • I'm sorry, but I didn't mean the toolbar. I meant the actual phone-wide navigation bar, that is presented on devices that do not have hardware keys on the bottom

          @Amitairos android navigation bar is also called status bar. IONIC native has a plugin for this. Check it out on this link https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/status-bar/.



          For Example:- this.statusBar.styleBlackTranslucent();
          this will change your status bar color in black. you can also use any color code please check in above link. this will definitely help you.

          • I tested this out and it only colors the status bar on top of the screen. It does not color the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen. Are you sure we're referring to the same thing? I added an image in my question
