To change the background color of an image on mouse hover using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Select the image: In the Webflow Designer, select the image by clicking on it. This will reveal the image settings in the right-hand panel.
Add a class: In the style panel, click on the "Add class" button to assign a class to the image. This will allow you to target and modify the image specifically.
Navigate to the hover state: Under the class name, you'll see a toggle switch labeled "Hover." Toggle this switch to activate the hover state for the image. This will allow you to modify the image appearance when the mouse hovers over it.
Change the background color: With the hover state activated, you can now modify the image's background color. In the style panel, navigate to the background color property and select a new color either by choosing a preset or entering a custom hex code. The changes you make will be applied only when the mouse hovers over the image.
Preview and publish: After making your desired changes, preview your site to see the hover effect in action. If you are satisfied with the result, publish your site to make the changes live on the web.

By following these steps, you can easily change the background color of an image on mouse hover using Webflow. This can help add an interactive element to your site and enhance the user experience.
