To trigger a change in the color of the burger lines in Webflow, you can use interactions and custom code. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Select the element: Start by selecting the element that contains the burger lines. This is usually a div or a button.

  2. Add an interaction: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Interactions panel and click on the "+" button to create a new interaction. Give it a name and select the trigger event that you want to use to change the color. For example, you could choose "Mouse hover" to change the color when the user hovers over the element.

  3. Set up the animation: Within the interaction, create a new animation step by clicking on the "+" button. In this step, you can define the change in color for the burger lines. You can do this by modifying the "Color" property of the element or by applying a class that has the desired color.

  4. Publish and test: Once you have set up the interaction, publish your Webflow site and test the changes to see if the color of the burger lines changes as expected when the trigger event occurs.

  5. Custom code alternative: If you want to have more control over the animation, you can use custom code. Select the element containing the burger lines and go to the "Settings" tab, then select "Custom Code" from the "Type" dropdown. In the "Before " section, you can add CSS code to change the color of the burger lines. For example, you can use the :hover pseudo-class to change the color on hover.

By following these steps, you can easily trigger the same element to change the color of the burger lines in Webflow. Whether you choose to use interactions or custom code, this customization will help add an engaging element to your website.
