To dynamically change the background color of an element such as "overview-element" in Webflow based on a given number, you can make the following changes to your CSS or JS:

  1. HTML Markup:
  • Make sure the element you want to change the background color of has a unique class name, such as "overview-element". You can add this class name in the "Class" field of the element's settings panel.
  1. CSS:
  • Define different background colors for the element based on your desired conditions. For example, you can use CSS classes to represent different color options. Define these classes with their corresponding background colors in your CSS file.
  • Use the class selector to set the initial background color of the "overview-element" using CSS. You can set it to a default color or one of the predefined color classes.
  • In your CSS, define a new class for each color option that you want to dynamically apply to the "overview-element".
  1. JavaScript:
  • Add a JavaScript function that takes the given number as a parameter.
  • Within the JavaScript function, use conditional statements (if/else or switch case) to determine the color option based on the given number. For each condition, add or remove the relevant class from the "overview-element" using JavaScript DOM manipulation methods like classList.add() and classList.remove().
  • Call the JavaScript function when the page loads or when the given number changes. You can use event listeners or other triggers to call the function at the appropriate time.

By combining CSS and JavaScript, you can dynamically change the background color of the "overview-element" based on a given number in Webflow.
