Neumorphism
Information
Introduction
Neomorphism (or Neumorphism) is a design style that uses soft shadows and gradients to create a “soft UI” look. It is
characterized by elements that appear to be extruded from the background, creating a 3D-like effect without the heavy
skeuomorphism of the past.
Neumorphism.io is a popular tool and generator that helps designers and developers create the CSS code for neumorphic
elements. It allows users to customize colors, size, radius, distance, intensity, and blur to achieve the perfect soft
UI effect.
What is it for?
Neumorphism is used to create modern, minimalist, and visually appealing user interfaces. It is particularly popular for:
- Soft UI Design: Creating interfaces that feel tactile and organic.
- Component Styling: Giving buttons, cards, and input fields a unique, extruded look.
- Modern Aesthetics: Achieving a clean, high-tech, or premium visual style.
Main Functionalities and Features
- Soft Shadows: Uses two shadows (one light, one dark) to create the extrusion effect.
- Background Matching: The element color usually matches the background color to enhance the effect.
- Customizable Parameters: Control over light source, depth, and softness.
- CSS Generation: Tools like Neumorphism.io provide instant CSS code for implementation.
Usage
When implementing Neumorphism, it’s important to keep accessibility in mind, as the low contrast between elements and the background can make it difficult for some users to distinguish components.
Example CSS (from Neumorphism.io)
.neumorphic-card {
border-radius: 50px;
background: #e0e0e0;
box-shadow: 20px 20px 60px #bebebe,
-20px -20px 60px #ffffff;
}
