Yes, it is possible to achieve a color-changing menu effect in Webflow without custom code. Webflow offers a variety of built-in features and interactions that can be used to create dynamic and interactive elements, including menus. Here's how you can achieve a color-changing menu effect in Webflow:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer and select the menu element you want to apply the color-changing effect to.

  2. In the Style panel, navigate to the "States" tab. Here, you can define different states for the menu element, such as normal, hover, pressed, and focus states.

  3. Select the state that you want to apply the color-changing effect to, such as the hover state.

  4. In the Styles panel, navigate to the "Background" section, and click on the color picker to define the background color for the menu element in that state. Choose the desired color for the hover state.

  5. You can also add additional style changes to the menu element in the selected state, such as changing the text color, font size, or adding transitions for a more dynamic effect.

  6. Repeat the steps above for any other states you want to define, such as the pressed or focus states.

  7. Preview your site to see the color-changing effect in action. When you hover over the menu element, the background color should change to the color you specified in the hover state.

By leveraging Webflow's built-in capabilities, you can create engaging and interactive design elements without the need for custom code. However, if you require more complex or custom effects, it may be necessary to use custom code or third-party integrations to achieve the desired result.
