How to Change Text Color on Scroll for a Bootstrap Nav

As web design trends evolve, creating a visually appealing and interactive user interface has become essential. One common feature that enhances user experience is the changing of text colors on scroll—especially in navigation bars. If you are struggling to achieve this effect in your Bootstrap navbar, you're not alone!

In this guide, we'll tackle the issue of changing the text color of a Bootstrap navbar as the user scrolls down the page. This will make your website more dynamic and engaging. Let’s break down the solution into easy-to-follow steps.

Understanding the Problem

You may have implemented a Bootstrap navbar and successfully changed its background color upon scrolling. However, if you tried adding text colors but found no success, this guide is for you. The main goal is to use JavaScript to listen for scroll events and CSS classes to apply the styles for a seamless effect.

Solution Overview

To appropriately change the text color, we will perform the following:

CSS Styles: Define how the text should appear when the navbar is scrolled.
