CSS - Change text color depending on background

I have a simple layout consisting of three full height divs and a fixed header bar.

body,html {
  padding:0;
  margin:0;
}

.header {
  position:fixed;
  width:100%;
  height:50px;
  color:white;
  margin:20px;
}

.section1 {
  background:black;
  height:100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  color:white;
}

.section2 {
  background:white;
  height:100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.section3 {
  background:black;
  height:100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  color:white;
}
<div class="header">
  Header Content
</div>
<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="section1">
    Section One Content
  </div>
  <div class="section2">
    Section Two Content
  </div>
  <div class="section3">
    Section Three Content
  </div>
</div>

I am trying to make the header bar text colour change to black when it rolls over the section with the white background.

I have seen a couple of jQuery plugins which should work to achieve this but I am trying to avoid any unnecessary scripts.

Would the CSS mix-blend-mode function allow me to achieve this? Does anybody have an example they can point me to of something similar being achieved?

You can do it with jquery, when something happens, do:

$('yourdiv1').css({"color": "black"})
$('yourdiv2').css({"background-color": "white"})

To set it to default just:

$('yourdiv1').css({"color": ""})
$('yourdiv2').css({"background-color": ""})

Also add transitions to make it look really nice.

You can use mix-blend-mode:difference

body,
html {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

.header {
  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
  height: 50px;
  margin: 20px;
  color:#fff;
  mix-blend-mode: difference;
}

.section1,
.section2,
.section3{
  background: black;
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  color: white;
}

.section2 {
  background: white;
  color:#000;
}
<div class="header">
  Header Content
</div>
<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="section1">
    Section One Content
  </div>
  <div class="section2">
    Section Two Content
  </div>
  <div class="section3">
    Section Three Content
  </div>
</div>
