Have you checked whether the CSS bg-gray-400 is applied using developer tools? Share your tailwind.config.js - my guess is you are missing step 2 of the install guide https://github.com/themesberg/flowbite-react#install-flowbite-react

@nishant-vagh The best approach to customize complex elements such as Sidebar is to use the theme system. Some of the classes/styles that you are trying to change are part of the inner component's objects.

It looks like all you need to do is apply the color to the root.inner theme specifically, since a bg-gray-50 is currently supplied there.

That looks like:

import { Sidebar, theme } from 'flowbite-react';
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge';

<Sidebar theme={{
  inner: twMerge(theme.sidebar.root.inner, "bg-pink-800")
}}>
 ..
</Sidebar>

This obviously isn't optimal - we should definitely consider moving all or most of the styling out of this inner key to make it more intuitive. E.g., you should be able to just do this with className without hacks. You can actually do it with className as well by specifying the inner <div> as the target - e.g., <Sidebar className="[&>div]:bg-pink-800">

I tested on your Code Sandbox and each of those works just fine.
