HTML, CSS: Color property not working properly

I'm trying to build a website but for some reason my css color property is not working properly. I need to change the font color of the text in the dropdown menu to white.

HTML Code: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta  charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <title>My Cycle - Home</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
            <div id="heading">
                <img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/5d32881.png" id="image_symbol"/>
            </div>
            <div id="navbar">
                <ul id="main_navbar">
                    <li>
                        <a href="#" style="z-index: -1" class="active">Home</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="dropdown">
                        <a class="dropbtn" style="z-index: -1">Rent</a>
                        <div class="dropdown-content">
                            <a href="rental/mountain_bikes.html">Mountain Bikes</a>
                            <a href="rental/hybrid_bikes.html">Hybrid Bikes</a>
                            <a href="rental/road_bikes.html">Road Bikes</a>

                        </div>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a href="faq.html" style="z-index: -1">FAQ's</a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a href="about.html" style="z-index: -1">About</a>
                    </li>
                </ul>
                <ul id="sub_navbar">
                    <li>
                        <a href="contact_us.html" style="margin-right: 15px">Contact Us</a>
                    </li>

                    </li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </header>
        <section>

        </section>

Change your class, 

dropdown-content a

to

#main_navbar .dropdown-content a

Its not just the color, but some other styles also might not get applied to the dropdown-content because its preference is lower than that of #main_navbar. You can always choose to put !important everywhere, but remember, !important is nothing but a lazy hack which should be avoided whenever possible.

Please try this:

.dropdown-content a {
  display: block;
  font-weight: normal;
  text-align: left;
  line-height: 2em;
  font-size: 0.8em;
  padding-left: 10px;
  color: white !important;
}

change to this:

#main_navbar li > a, #sub_navbar li > a {
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 1em;
  color: black;
  font-weight: normal;
}
