Animated Mesh Gradient Background

Soft blobs of color that float and melt into each other — an animated mesh gradient or aurora background in your palette.

Melt colors together

Mesh Gradient turns your palette into soft blobs of color that float and melt into each other, gently warped like an aurora. It is the animated version of the mesh gradients used on modern landing pages and app splash screens: smooth, colorful and calm enough to sit behind text. The color points drift on their own, the warp flows and the swirl breathes.

Best uses for Mesh Gradient

Mesh Gradient turns your palette into soft blobs of color that float and melt into each other, gently warped like an aurora. It is the animated version of the mesh gradients used on modern landing pages and app splash screens: smooth, colorful and calm enough to sit behind text. The color points drift on their own, the warp flows and the swirl breathes.

  • Startups can use it as a moving gradient hero background behind a headline.
  • Presenters and streamers can loop it as a soft backdrop for titles and slides.
  • Designers can export gradient wallpapers and phone backgrounds in exact brand colors.

Design note: a mesh gradient is about color, so pick the palette first. Neighboring hues blend most smoothly; add one complementary color for energy. Keep Color Drift gentle behind headlines so the text never sits on a moving contrast edge.
