To change the background color of the navbar when it is in the open state on tablets and mobile in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the navbar element: Open your project in Webflow's Designer tool and select the navbar element you want to modify on the tablet and mobile breakpoints.

  2. Go to the Style panel: Once you have selected the navbar element, navigate to the Style panel on the right-hand side of the Designer interface.

  3. Enable the Open state: Under the "State" section in the Style panel, click on the dropdown menu labeled "Open". This will allow you to customize the styles for the navbar when it is in the open state.

  4. Change the background color: Look for the background color property in the Style panel. You can modify the color by clicking on the color swatch and choosing a new color from the color picker. Alternatively, you can enter a HEX code or RGBA value directly.

  5. Adjust other styles if needed: You may also want to modify other styles, such as text color, font size, or padding, to ensure your navbar looks visually cohesive and legible in the open state on tablets and mobile devices. Use the Style panel to make these adjustments as needed.

  6. Preview and publish: Once you have made the necessary changes, use Webflow's preview feature to see how the navbar looks on different tablet and mobile devices. If you are satisfied with the changes, publish your project to make the modifications live on your website.

Now your navbar's background color will change when it is in the open state on tablets and mobile devices, creating a visually appealing and user-friendly experience for your website visitors.
