To create a fixed navigation with a color change on scroll in Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Create the navigation element:

  • Drag and drop a "Navbar" component onto your canvas.
  • Customize the layout, design, and content of your navigation as desired.

2. Make the navbar fixed:

  • With the navbar selected, go to the Navigator panel on the right-hand side.
  • Click on the small settings icon next to the navbar's name.
  • In the settings menu, enable the "Position: Fixed" option.

3. Add the initial styling for the navigation:

  • With the navbar still selected, go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side.
  • Customize the background color, text color, and other styling properties to match your design.

4. Add an interaction for the color change effect:

  • Go to the Interactions panel, usually located at the bottom of the Designer.
  • Click the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  • Name your interaction (e.g., "Scroll Nav").
  • Set the "Trigger" to "While page is scrolled".
  • Set the "Affect" to "Navbar".
  • Set the "Action" to "Change element's properties".
  • Click "Add Property" and choose the "Background color" property.
  • Adjust the color as desired.

5. Fine-tune the interaction settings:

  • Adjust the "Scroll" trigger's settings to control how much scrolling is required before the color change occurs. This will depend on your design preferences.
  • Preview your site to see the color change in action.

By following these steps, you can create a fixed navigation with a color change on scroll in Webflow. Remember to experiment with different colors, scroll triggers, and other settings to achieve the desired effect.
