Color Mixing With Animation Composition

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/color-mixing-with-animation-composition/

Color Mixing With Animation Composition

Mixing colors in CSS is pretty much a solved deal, thanks to the more recent color-mix() function as it gains support. Pass in two color values — any two color values at all — and optionally set the proportions.

background-color: color-mix(#000 30%, #fff 70%);

We also have the relative color syntax that can manipulate colors from one color space to another and modify them from there. The preeminent use case being a way to add opacity to color values that don’t support it, such as named colors.

background-color: hsl(from black h s l); /* hsl(0 0% 0%) */ background-color: hsl(from black h s l / 50%); /* hsl(0 0% 0% / 50%) */

We can get hacky and overlay one opaque element with another, I suppose.

Same general idea maybe, but with mix-blend-mode?

Another roundabout way of getting there is something I saw this morning when looking over the updates that Ryan added to the animation property in the Almanac. Now, we all know that animation is shorthand for about a gajillion other properties (the order of which always eludes me). One of those is animation-composition and it’s used to… well, Ryan nails the explanation:

Defining a property in CSS also sets what is considered the underlying value of the property. By default, keyframe animations will ignore the underlying value, as they only consider the effect values defined within the animation. Keyframes create a stack of effect values, which determines the order in which the animation renders to the browser. Composite operations are how CSS handles the underlying effect combined with the keyframe effect value.

Manuel Matuzović and Robin Rendle also have excellent ways of explaining the property, the former of which sparked us to update the Almanac.

OK! We have three values supported by animation-composition to replace the underlying property value in favor of the effect value defined in keyframes, add to them, or accumulate for combining multiple values. The add value is what’s interesting to us because… oh gosh, let’s just let Ryan take it:

[I]nstead of replacing an underlying background-color property value with the keyframe’s effect value, the color type values are combined, creating new colors.

A-ha! The example goes like this:

See that? The add value blends the two colors as one transitions to the other. Notice, too, how much smoother that transition is than the replace value, although we wind up with a completely new color at the 100% mark rather than the color we declared in the keyframes. What if we pause the animation at some arbitrary point? Can we extract a new color value from it?

Ryan made this so that hovering on the elements pauses the animation. If we crack open DevTools and force the :hover pseudo on the element, maybe we can head over to the Computed tab to get the new color value.

Interestingly, we get some RGB conversions in there. Probably because updating color channels is easier than converting one hex to another? Browsers do smart stuff.

Now I want to go update my old color interpolation demo…

Hmm, not any different to my untrained eye. Maybe that’s only because we’re changing the HSL’s hue channel and it’s super subtle. Whatever the case, animation-composition can produce new computed color values. What you need those for and what you’d do with them? I dunno, but go wild.

Greetings, greetings. I've been reading through corru.observer and I really love it! Got inspirired to draw my own little obesk guy. Which, As I went, got me curious about your art process for some of these visuals. What resolution are the sprites? And, what kind of dithering are you using to get such striking visuals? I'm quite curious

Hi!! I'm glad you like it!!!!

The signatures are around 1840-2300ish pixels tall at their full resolution! Though that doesn't decide how tall they are in the game, that's determined by the size of their css container. To keep heights consistent, whenever I make a new signature, I just paste in one of the signatures I already made for reference, then resize the sketch accordingly. like this

So for making your own, I recommend ripping the sprites from the game and doing the same.

After resizing the sketch I draw the shapes with a hard, aliased brush, then I paint on top of them with simple round brushes. Then sometimes I add textures on top of that on an overlay or multiply blending mode.

As for dithering, I cover that here, but to summarize I (and all of corru observer, save for... one exception) use floyd steinberg dithering! There are a bunch of different types but that's the kind I use.

To make sure everything looks GOOD once dithered, I will dither the drawing, look at the result, and then adjust the original image until it produces a dithered version that I like. Lots of trial and error. Usually that means increasing the contrast so that there are clean zones of pure black, instead of everything having a faint dithered texture on it.

Does that answer your question?? I could talk about this for hours.

[nyctoheart]

like I could seriously make this crown animation in css, have it be animated WHILE flawlessly transparent, where it'll look good regardless of the pattern/image/content behind it. Because of screen blend mode and image masks. the raw power of css now is just CRAZY I NEEED to find ways to push it to the limit.

[nyctocodes]

Hello, I have been away from html/css for a few years and I recently learned that blend modes and masks have been added aaaand..... my interest is severely piqued...

¡Hola, Necro!

Estuve revisando tus preguntas frecuentes y tutoriales (muchas gracias por todo eso) pero no logré encontrar un tutorial específico para los fondos para foro, más que nada para saber cómo cambiarle el color a la imagen y que quede de un solo color, como morado o claro u oscuro. ¿Es posible que nos puedas regalar un pequeño tutorial para eso? Por favooooooor.

¡Hola anon! No daría para un tutorial, la verdad, pero sí que te puedo decir cómo hago mis fondos hoy en día, ya que este método tiene buenos resultados y ayuda incluso si no has editado la imagen en absoluto.

Escoge una imagen que te guste. Recomiendo usar Unsplash.

Si vas a querer que sea en monocromo, pásala a blanco y negro. Puedes usar Pinetools.

Crea tres variables, para fácil edición: --body [el color de fondo], --body-img [tu imagen, puesta como url(LINK)] y --body-effect [tu blend-mode]. Si no sabes usar/crear variables, lee este tutorial.

Añade el siguiente código a tu CSS, y listo.

body#phpbb { background-color:var(--body); background-image:var(--body-img); background-blend-mode:var(--body-effect); background-size:cover; background-attachment:fixed; }

Para fondos claros: Usa un color claro (entre #777 y #bbb) y un blend-mode como screen, soft-light...

Para fondos oscuros: Usa un color oscuro (entre #222 y #666) y un blend-mode como multiply, darken, hard-light...

Para fondos de color: Usa tu color deseado y un blend-mode a elegir de los anteriores (para fondos oscuros uso multiply, para fondos claros uso screen o soft-light).

Tus variables dependerán del estilo que quieras conseguir, claro. A veces te tocará editar un poco la imagen (yo casi siempre les quito contraste usando, you guessed it, Pinetools), pero por lo general, este método te dará un buen resultado sin tener que abrir Photoshop, y si en algún momento quieres cambiar la imagen, es tan simple como cambiar --body-img.

¡Saludos!

Any tips on using fonts in ao3?

going to assume you're familiar with the basics — creating a new workskin at Dashboard → Skins → My Work Skins, and selecting a skin on the Edit Work page. if not, AO3 has a tutorial for this

(though skimming the tutorial, it doesn't seem to mention the <span> tag, which is your best friend when it comes to applying styles to a bit of text within a paragraph)

now for the more specific part of this question. also, be warned i'm going to be embarrassingly technical before i actually answer your question.

this is going to sound funny, but i am by and large not a fan of manipulating fonts as a stylistic device. my personal opinion is that what font a text is displayed in should be for the user to decide, both for preference and for accessibility reasons (e.g. there's fonts designed for dyslexic readers). i also tend to find most font changes to be a a bit goofy and immersion-breaking

it's different when i do it, but i'll explain my cope in a second

anyway, the style property you want to change to set in your work skin is font-family. e.g. font-family: monospace will give text a code/"typewriter" look, and on my own site i use "font-family: Newsreader, serif;". (the comma there essentially says 'if you don't have Newsreader installed, any serif font will do)

but as mentioned, i don't like messing with fonts, and in fact, there is no font styling as such in my fic at all. what gives?

(note: im going include mildly spoilery excerpts from my fic, Hostile Takeover)

but basically, i wrap cyn's dialogue in <code> tags, and most browsers will make that monospaced by default, but it leaves the door open for custom userskins to add their own flair to code blocks.

for example, my site puts little boxes around them

but with all that said, i think i might be taking this question overly literally. i think it's likely you aren't talking specifically about just fonts, and most of the interesting things people want to replicate from my fic aren't about what shape the letters are.

my secret weapon for styling this fic is the humble text-shadow property.

what it does is simple: it creates a copy of the text, and you have four knobs to turn: you can shift it over horizontally or vertically, blur it, and of course change the color

text-shadow: 1px 2px 3px red;

this gives you a copy of the text shifted to the right 1 pixels, down 2 pixels, blurred 3 pixels and colored red.

text-shadow: 1px 2px 3px red, -1px -2px 3px blue;

same deal but now there's another in the opposite directions colored blue, like a chromatic aberration.

you don't have to include the color or the blur if you dont want color or blur.

now i'll run through some real examples

the "pain" effect is what you get when you stack text vertically

text-shadow: 0 -3px 0px, 0 3px 0px;

the "beyond the grave" effect is text stacked horizontally

text-shadow: 2px 0px 0px;

the famous "i want you destroy you" text is of course colored, and here i offer an actual tip

you can predict the offsets, but the color is special

text-shadow: 2px -1px 0px #da38;

full explanation here, but basically, when you write a color with four values, the first three are RGB, but the last is the opacity. i think this matters because, if the earlier part of this post didn't make it clear, i care about readers getting a good experience no matter how they choose their custom styles (within reason, ofc)

by making the color slightly transparent, it blends with the background color, means whether you read with a light them or dark, it meets you half way

(try removing the transparency on that shade, and it's a pretty harsh contrast on both modes — though part of that might be that i made it super saturated to compensate for the transparency.)

i have some complaints about how ao3 handles css, and one of them is that it forbids you from using the very convenient filter: blur() function. to work around this, i cooked up a very "we have blur at home" solution

text-shadow: 0px 0px 6px, 1px 1px 3px, -1px -1px 3px; opacity: 50%;

(it looks much better on my site, where i can filter: blur all i like)

one of the reasons this sucks is that without a doubt the biggest limiter on doing really complicated stuff with text shadows is that they don't stack.

you'll notice that when the "pain" effect shows up, the "blur" effect disappears.

this matters most for what is definitely the most striking and involved use of text shadows in the work: the big man himself

the basic principle here isn't that special. the illusion of depth is accomplished by increasing blur and opacity the 'deeper' the text is supposed to be. the biggest trick here is that instead of the 'px' we've been using everywhere before, the offsets use 'em', which is a unit that relative to the font size.

but there is a nuance. you see:

text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px, 0px -1px 0px, #fd64 2px 2px 2px, #fd68 2em 1em 3px, #fd65 4em 2em 5px; text-shadow: #fd64 2px 2px 2px, #fd65 2em 1em 5px; text-shadow: #fd6 2px 2px 5px, 0px -3px 0px, 0px 3px 0px, #fd68 2em 1em 3px;

the "translate" looks like a combination of the new effect and the pain effect, but i had to give it a special style, specifying both by hand.

if you want to layer things, it will get out of hand, and if you ever opt to revise the specific colors or values, solver help you.

also, this doesnt show up anywhere in HT (yet), but i've used it in the past — only setting the blur of a text-shadow lets you give words an 'aura', and it's a neat and simple effect

(excerpt from Eifre Quest, an original work of mine from years ago. i have mixed feelings about it)

sorry if that was a long ramble or self-indulgent, but hopefully something there was new or helpful.

thanks for asking!

[ao3css]

Do you happen to know the CSS code to change the colour of the box as well as the text inside the box that warns you before you open a fic that could contain adult content? Every public skin I’ve tried keeps it as bright yellow and in my dark mode custom skin I somehow changed it to black along with the regular background without me doing that intentionally but the text is also black, so it blends into the background and I can’t read it at all. I made that skin in 2020 and I've just been putting up with it being invisible for 3 years but today I decided I wanted to search for how to change it. However I've searched all over the Internet and no one has talked about changing the colour of this box. Can you help?

.caution { text-color: background: border-color: }

Hey, congratulations on figuring it out! I would like to note that it is much easier to find elements though inspect element. on most browsers, right click an element you wish to edit and select "inspect"

and it will usually give you the style elements of what you clicked on right away!

Typography Trends in 2025: What Designers Need to Know

Typography is no longer just about selecting a readable font—it’s a storytelling tool, a brand voice, and a key driver of user experience. In 2025, the world of typography is evolving fast, blending creativity, technology, and personality. If you're taking a graphic design course in Noida or anywhere else, staying on top of these trends is a must.

Whether you're a beginner or a design pro, this guide will help you understand the top typography trends of 2025—and how to use them in your own work.

🔠 Why Typography Matters More Than Ever

Typography isn't just about fonts—it's about function, emotion, and brand identity.

Visual hierarchy: Guides users through content with ease.

Personality: Fonts help tell a brand’s story before a word is read.

Accessibility: Good typography makes content more readable for everyone.

If you're enrolled in a graphic design course in Noida, you're likely learning that strong typography separates amateur design from professional work.

✨ 1. Expressive & Experimental Typefaces

Say goodbye to safe and predictable. Designers in 2025 are embracing wild, distorted, and hand-drawn fonts that create emotion and grab attention.

Where to use it: Posters, campaigns, branding for creative industries.

🔁 2. Variable Fonts Go Mainstream

One font file, unlimited style variations? That’s the magic of variable fonts, now fully supported in most browsers and design tools.

Benefits:

Faster web load times.

Greater control over weight, width, and slant.

Responsive and scalable typography for any screen.

🌗 3. Dark Mode Typography

With more apps and devices offering dark mode, designers are adjusting typography to work beautifully against darker backgrounds.

Tips:

Avoid pure white; use soft light colors for better legibility.

Increase line spacing.

Use open and clean fonts like Inter or IBM Plex.

🧠 4. AI-Generated Fonts

AI tools are helping designers create original typefaces faster than ever before.

Tools to explore:

Fontjoy (for font pairing)

Tricks:

Use fluid units like clamp() in CSS.

Ensure text maintains contrast and legibility at any size.

🖋 6. Retro Meets Futurism

Old-school vibes meet sleek modern aesthetics. Think vintage serif fonts combined with neon colors or digital glitch effects.

Popular fonts: Mazius Display, Be Vietnam Pro, or GT Super.

👁️ 7. Motion Typography

Text that moves = text that captivates. Designers are using animation to bring typography to life on websites and in videos.

Use cases:

Scroll-triggered animations.

Loading screen effects.

Micro-interactions in apps.

Learn this in advanced modules of a graphic design course in Noida focused on UI/UX or motion graphics.

🧩 8. Custom Fonts for Branding

With every brand fighting for attention, custom fonts have become a way to stand out.

Why it works:

Creates brand recognition.

Offers full creative control.

Hard to replicate by competitors.

💡 Quick Tips for Designers

Pair expressive fonts with simple ones for balance.

Always test your typography across devices.

Use contrast checkers for accessibility compliance.

Stay inspired by following platforms like Typewolf and Fonts In Use.

📍 Why Learn Typography in a Graphic Design Course in Noida?

Noida has become a growing hub for design education and creative tech in India. Enrolling in a graphic design course in Noida gives you access to:

Hands-on projects on modern typography.

Training in tools like Figma, Adobe Fonts, and After Effects.

Industry exposure through design internships and studio visits.

Knowledge of both traditional type and digital trends.

Whether you want to freelance, join a design agency, or start your own brand, mastering typography is a core skill—and Noida offers excellent resources to help you do just that.
