To create a looping effect with different colored div blocks in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer and create a new project or open an existing one.

  2. Drag and drop a "Div Block" onto your canvas. This will be the main container for your looping effect.

  3. Customize the size and position of the div block according to your design preferences.

  4. Double-click on the div block to enter its settings.

  5. Inside the div block, click on the "+" button to add as many div blocks as you need for your looping effect.

  6. Customize the size and position of each div block to create the desired visual effect. You can also add different background colors to each div block.

  7. Now, enable the "Overflow Hidden" property for the main div block. This will hide any content that goes outside the boundaries of the div block.

  8. Next, select all the div blocks within the main div block. You can do this by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each div block.

  9. In the top toolbar, click on the "Add Interactions" button (the lightning bolt icon).

  10. In the interactions panel on the right side of the Designer, click on the "+" button to add a new interaction.

  11. Choose the trigger for your looping effect. It could be a scroll trigger, a button click, or any other event that suits your design. For example, if you want the looping effect to start when the page loads, choose the "Page Load" trigger.

  12. In the animation section, set the initial state of the div blocks to their starting position or opacity.

  13. Add keyframes to the animation by clicking on the "+" button. Each keyframe represents a different state of the animation. For example, you can create keyframes to move the div blocks horizontally or change their background colors.

  14. Set the duration and easing of the animation. The duration determines how long it takes for the looping effect to complete, and the easing determines the speed and acceleration of the animation.

  15. Lastly, preview your looping effect by clicking on the "Preview" button in the top-right corner of the Designer.

By following these steps, you can easily create a looping effect with different colored div blocks in Webflow.
