Description

ColorShifter is designed to introduce motion through layered gradients.

Instead of a single moving surface, it uses multiple gradient layers that slide across each other, creating depth and variation. Direction, speed, and easing can all be adjusted, allowing the effect to feel smooth and controlled or more dynamic depending on the configuration.

Because the movement is directional, it adds structure to the background while still remaining flexible.

This makes it suitable for layouts that benefit from motion, but still require a sense of order and consistency.


Use Cases

  • Hero sections
  • Landing pages
  • Section backgrounds
  • Brand-focused layouts
