To create a mix-blend-mode effect with black and white text in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add the text elements: Start by adding two separate text elements to your Webflow project. One text element should have black text color, and the other should have white text color. You can use the text element or the heading element, depending on your preference.

  2. Set the blend mode: Select the text element with black text color and go to the Styles panel. Under the "Text" section, locate the "Blend Mode" option. Click on it and choose "Screen" or "Color Dodge" from the dropdown menu. These blend modes will make the black text appear transparent when overlaid on the white text.

  3. Position the text elements: Arrange the two text elements on top of each other in the desired position using the position options available in the Styles panel. You may need to adjust the hierarchy and positioning to achieve the desired visual effect.

  4. Fine-tune the design: Depending on your design preferences, you may need to further adjust the font size, line height, or other styles to make sure the text is visually appealing and readable. You can modify these properties in the Styles panel.

  5. Preview and publish: Once you are satisfied with the mix-blend-mode effect, preview it in the Webflow Designer to see how it looks. Make any necessary tweaks. Finally, publish your site to make the mix-blend-mode effect live on your website.

By following these steps, you can create a mix-blend-mode effect with black and white text in Webflow. This technique can add an interesting visual element to your website, making the text stand out and providing a unique design touch.
