To make the Nav Link text color inherit its Nav Bar text color in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Nav Link element: Go to your Webflow Designer and select the Nav Link element within your Nav Bar component.

  2. Open the Styles panel: On the right-hand side of the Designer, click on the "Styles" tab to open the Styles panel.

  3. Access the text color property: Within the Styles panel, scroll down until you find the Typography section. Click on the color swatch next to the "Text Color" property to open the color picker.

  4. Use the inherit option: Within the color picker, you'll see a dropdown menu. Click on it and select "Inherit" from the options.

  5. Apply the changes: Your Nav Link text color will now inherit the Nav Bar text color. Make sure to publish or update your website for the changes to take effect.

To ensure that the hover and current states of the Nav Link still work after setting the text color on the page scroll interaction, follow these additional steps:

  1. Set up the page scroll interaction: Select the element or section that triggers the page scroll interaction. Apply the desired animation or styling changes to this element.

  2. Preserve the link states: While setting up the page scroll interaction, make sure to include the hover and current states of the Nav Link. This ensures that the link states remain intact even after the interaction is triggered.

  3. Check the interactions panel: Open the Interactions panel in the Designer and verify that the hover and current states are still assigned to the Nav Link element within the page scroll interaction.

  4. Preview and test: Preview your website to test the page scroll interaction and the hover/current states of the Nav Link. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the desired behavior.

By following these steps, you can make the Nav Link text color inherit its Nav Bar text color and still maintain the hover and current states even after setting the text color on the page scroll interaction.
