To change the background color of the navigation bar in Webflow when it enters a dark section, such as the iPhone 11, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  2. Select the navigation bar element on your page.
  3. In the Style Panel on the right-hand side, navigate to the "Background" section.
  4. Set the background color that you want for the navigation bar in normal conditions, i.e., when it is not in the dark section.
  5. To change the background color specifically for the dark section, you can use a combination of Webflow's Interactions feature and a custom CSS class.

Using Webflow Interactions:

  1. In the Style Panel, click on the "Interactions" tab.
  2. Add a new interaction for the navigation bar, such as a scroll trigger.
  3. Set the trigger to activate when scrolling enters the dark section of your page.
  4. In the interaction's action, choose to add a class.
  5. Create a new class that has the desired background color for the dark section.

Using custom CSS class:

  1. In the Style Panel, click on the "Selector" field to add a custom class.
  2. Give a relevant name to your custom class, e.g., "dark-nav".
  3. Define the background color for the navigation bar specifically in the dark section using custom CSS.
  4. Apply the custom class to the navigation bar element.

Now, when you scroll into the dark section of your page, the background color of the navigation bar will change accordingly, whether you are using Webflow Interactions or a custom CSS class.

Remember to publish your site for the changes to take effect.
