Yes, it is possible to change the background and text color of elements on the navigation bar when a certain element scrolls out of view in Webflow. This can be achieved by using the built-in Interactions feature in Webflow. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Make sure that the element you want to trigger the color change is positioned below the navigation bar on your web page.

  2. Select the navigation bar element by clicking on it in the Webflow Designer.

  3. In the right sidebar, switch to the "Interactions" tab.

  4. Click on the "+ New Interaction" button to create a new interaction.

  5. Choose the "Scroll" trigger for the interaction.

  6. In the "Start" section of the interaction settings, select the option that suits your needs. For example, you can choose "While scrolling in view" if you want the color change to happen while the element is visible on the screen.

  7. In the "Target" section of the interaction settings, choose the element that you want to change the background and text color of. You can either select an individual element or a class of elements.

  8. In the "Affect" section of the interaction settings, choose the properties you want to change. For example, you can select the "Background color" property and set a new color value for it. Repeat this step for the "Text color" property if you want to change the text color as well.

  9. Lastly, set the desired values for the background and text color in the "Before" and "After" sections of the interaction settings. You can either choose a predefined color from the palette or enter a custom color value.

  10. Preview your website to see the color change in action while scrolling.

By following these steps, you can easily create a visually appealing effect where the background and text color of elements on the navigation bar change when a certain element scrolls out of view.
