Answer

Use scroll event handler on window
Loop over all the li elements to check if the element is in the interested viewport
Get the li position from top and check if it is in the interested viewport section.

Demo:

Changed the height of li for demo purpose.

See the comments inline in the code.

$(document).ready(function() {
  // Get viewport height, gridTop and gridBottom
  var windowHeight = $(window).height(),
    gridTop = windowHeight * .3,
    gridBottom = windowHeight * .6;

  $(window).on('scroll', function() {
    // On each scroll check if `li` is in interested viewport
    $('ul li').each(function() {
      var thisTop = $(this).offset().top - $(window).scrollTop(); // Get the `top` of this `li`

      // Check if this element is in the interested viewport
      if (thisTop >= gridTop && (thisTop + $(this).height()) <= gridBottom) {
        $(this).css('background', 'red');
      } else {
        $(this).css('background', 'gray');
      }
    });
  });
});

ul {
  margin: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0;
}
ul li {
  width: 50px;
  height: 30px;
  background: #f5f5f5;
  float: left;
  margin: 10px;
  text-align: center;
  padding-top: 10px
}
ul li.middleviewport {
  background: red;
}

Question 2

I am trying to change the color of <li> elements when they are between 30% and 60% of the viewport.

So I have this grid of elements stacking side by side like this:

elements stacking side by side

I ran into few plugins like Waypoints, Viewport Checker and few others but nothing good.

Any idea?

I am using a pretty simple structure :

        <li></li>
    </ul>
</body>

CSS:

ul {
    margin: auto;
}
ul li {
    width: 300px;
    height: 200px;
    background: #f5f5f5;
    float: left;
    margin: 10px;
}

ul li.middleviewport{
    background:red;
}

Check if element is between 30% and 60% of the viewport
