Effect

Mesh Gradient

Silky animated multi-color mesh field with domain-warped organic boundaries, luminous color cores, and film-grain finish — Stripe-homepage-grade.

Parameters

colors

The 2-5 hues of the mesh; each color owns a drifting region. Adjacent hues on the wheel blend silkiest; complementary pairs stay vivid thanks to gamma-space blending.

bg

Shadow tint that breathes into the luminance valleys — sets the mood of the dark areas (deep navy/plum reads premium).

bg-alpha

0 lets the host section show through the valleys for a translucent color-wash; 1 is a fully opaque field.

speed

Drift tempo. 0.2-0.5 looks expensive and calm; above 1 becomes energetic/playful.

scale

Feature size of the flow detail; lower = broad sweeping forms, higher = finer cloud texture.

warp

Organic distortion of color boundaries; 0 yields clean smooth regions, high values give marbled fluid edges.

softness

Blend width between color regions; low = punchy saturated zones, high = dreamy diffuse transitions.

contrast

Tonal punch around mid-grey; raise slightly for vivid hero sections, lower for muted backdrops behind text.

grain

Animated film-grain overlay; a touch (0.04-0.08) kills banding and adds analog texture.

mouse

Cursor pigment-pull strength — a soft gaussian lens eases the color field toward the pointer, dragging color boundaries with it and gently brightening the local color cores, like a finger dragged through wet pigment; 0 disables the interaction entirely.
