thank you for your reply!
I have just tried using ngClass (used https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic2-ng-class-on-ion-row-scss/48935/6 as reference)
Code:
.html file:
<h2 ng-class="textColor">Score Multiplier</h2>
<ion-grid class="rates_container">
<ion-col>
<button #buttoncolor ion-button round (click)="changeColor()" class="roundClicked">x1</button>
</ion-col>
.ts file:
public textColor: any;
changeColor() {
alert("function changecolor");
this.textColor = 'red';
}
.scss file:
.red {
background: #f53d3d;
}
However when the button is clicked this does not have any effect on the text.
