CSS Neumorphism Generator
Generate a soft-UI neumorphism CSS style - dual light/dark shadows on a matching background - with a live preview.
Pick a base color and shadow intensity - the preview element updates live, showing the characteristic soft, extruded look.
Neumorphism relies on low contrast between elements and background by design - verify contrast for any interactive elements before relying on this style.
Neumorphism relies on both shadow colors closely matching the element's own background - the generator keeps this relationship consistent as you adjust the base color.
What Is Neumorphism?
Neumorphism ("soft UI") is a design style where elements appear to extrude from or press into a background of the same color, achieved with two offsetting box-shadows - a lighter one and a darker one, on opposite corners.
Why Use This Tool?
Getting both shadow colors to read correctly against a chosen base color (rather than looking like a generic double shadow) requires the light/dark shades to be derived consistently from that base - this tool handles that derivation automatically.
How to Use It
- Pick a base background color.
- Adjust shadow distance and blur intensity.
- Optionally toggle a pressed/inset look.
- Copy the generated CSS.
Limitations
Neumorphism has known accessibility concerns (low contrast between elements and background is central to the style) - use it selectively, and verify contrast for any interactive elements using it.
