I am currently adapting my employer's PowerPoint slides to beamer. I am struggling with the font colour on the table of contents slide.
Unfortunately, the colour does not show on the slide but presumably the link colour. How can I get the colour right?
A working example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\definecolor{new_red}{RGB}{240, 50, 5}
\definecolor{new_gray}{RGB}{85, 85, 85}
\setbeamercolor*{section in toc}{fg=new_gray, bg=white}
\setbeamercolor*{subsection in toc}{fg=new_gray, bg=white}
\setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[sections numbered]
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\section{Section}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Subsection}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}
\section{Section}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Subsection}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Subsection}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
In this example it works out as intended: The font colour in the toc is gray. But in the following example it does not.
First the class file:

\setbeamercolor*{separation line}{fg=my_gray, bg=white}

I have commented the line
for now. Then it works. Probably, I am going to run into problems at the url front. But that's for another battle.
