Change logo div background color as it scrolls

I am trying to implement a slip-scroll parallax type effect using CSS and JavaScript. When the screen scrolls down, the logo in the top right will change it's background to contrast with what is below. There is also a nav button on the left that does the same.

I have this so far...

// Detect request animation frame
var scroll = window.requestAnimationFrame ||
  window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame ||
  window.mozRequestAnimationFrame ||
  window.msRequestAnimationFrame ||
  window.oRequestAnimationFrame
  // IE Fallback, you can even fallback to onscroll
  ||
  function(callback) {
    window.setTimeout(callback, 1000 / 60)
  };
var lastPosition = -1;

// my Variables
var lastSection = false;
var replaceItemTop = -1;
var replaceItemBottom = -1;
var replaceItemHeight = -1;

// The Scroll Function
function loop() {
  var top = window.pageYOffset;
  // my variables

  // my sections to calculate stuff
  var sections = document.querySelectorAll('.section');
  var replaceContainer = document.querySelectorAll('.js-replace');
  var replaceItem = document.querySelectorAll('.js-replace__item');

  if (replaceItem.length > 0) {
    // get top position of item from container, because image might not have loaded
    replaceItemTop = parseInt(replaceContainer[0].getBoundingClientRect().top);
    replaceItemHeight = replaceItem[0].offsetHeight;
    replaceItemBottom = replaceItemTop + replaceItemHeight;
  }

  var sectionTop = -1;
  var sectionBottom = -1;
  var currentSection = -1;

  // Fire when needed
  if (lastPosition == window.pageYOffset) {
    scroll(loop);
    return false;
  } else {
    lastPosition = window.pageYOffset;

    // Your Function
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(sections, function(el, i) {
      sectionTop = parseInt(el.getBoundingClientRect().top);
      sectionBottom = parseInt(el.getBoundingClientRect().bottom);

      // active section
      if ((sectionTop <= replaceItemBottom) && (sectionBottom > replaceItemTop)) {
        // check if current section has bg
        currentSection = el.classList.contains('section--bg');

        // switch class depending on background image
        if (currentSection) {
          replaceContainer[0].classList.remove('js-replace--reverse');
        } else {
          replaceContainer[0].classList.add('js-replace--reverse')
        }
      }
      // end active section

      // if active Section hits replace area
      if ((replaceItemTop < sectionTop) && (sectionTop <= replaceItemBottom)) {
        // animate only, if section background changed
        if (currentSection != lastSection) {
          document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--replace-offset', 100 / replaceItemHeight * parseInt(sectionTop - replaceItemTop) + '%');
        }
      }
      // end active section in replace area

      // if section above replace area
      if (replaceItemTop >= sectionTop) {
        // set offset to 0 if you scroll too fast
        document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--replace-offset', 0 + '%');
        // set last section to current section
        lastSection = currentSection;
      }

    });

  }

  // Recall the loop
  scroll(loop)
}

// Call the loop for the first time
loop();

window.onresize = function(event) {
  loop();
};

The Logo on the right is behaving as expected, the background changes as you scroll down the page.

However, the nav on the left is not working correctly, I think it needs some offset adding as currently it changes when the nav changes

Anyone any ideas where I am going wrong?

Considering your code you will need to duplicate your logic in order to make it working for both elements. You will need to adjust the top variable for the second element so it's no more the top of the screen but the top of screen + the offset of the element.

Here is another idea that rely more on CSS with less JS code to obtain almost the same result:

window.onscroll = function() {
  var scroll = window.scrollY || window.scrollTop || document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].scrollTop;
  document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--scroll-var', scroll+"px");
}
:root {
  --scroll-var: 0px;
}


a {
  text-decoration: none;
}


/* set image position */

img {
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

.footer {
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #000;
  padding-top: 50px;
  padding-bottom: 50px;
  text-align: center;
}


/* without fixed header this makes no sense */

.header {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  z-index: 9;
}

.header_nav {
  position: fixed;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  left: 0;

}

The trick it to rely on a gradient coloration for your elements. The coloration should be the opposite of the site coloration. Our sections are 100vh height alternating white/black thus we use a gradient with a black/white coloration that we change each 100vh and that cover all the screen (600vh in this case since we have 6 sections).

Then we use a simple CSS variable that we update on scroll to define the background position. It's like we make the background sliding inside the element so that it remain fixed relatively to the whole document and we will obtain the needed result.

The drawbacks of this methods:

  • The sections need to have fixed height that's why I adjust slightly the content to not have more than 100vh to be able to correctly define the gradient. If the section are dynamic we may consider more code to adjust the gradient using more CSS variables.
  • I used a background to color the text using background-clip:text which isn't well supported in older browsers.

Concerning the gradient, I used repeating-linear-gradient because I adjusted the section to have a perfect alternation between white and black but in case we don't have this we can consider a linear-gradient where we define the color of each section like we want.

Here is a more generic example (I removed the gradient for the border coloration to make it easy)

window.onscroll = function() {
  var scroll = window.scrollY || window.scrollTop || document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].scrollTop;
  document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--scroll-var', scroll + "px");
}
:root {
  --scroll-var: 0px;
}

body {
 margin:0;
}

.header {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  z-index: 9;
}

.header_nav {
  position: fixed;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  left: 0;
  z-index: 9;
}
