CSS Performance & Stacking Best Practices
GPU Compositing
Heavy blur radii (> 40px) on large viewport elements can trigger excessive CPU paint cycles during scroll. Prefer subtle blurs or GPU-accelerated layered pseudo-elements.
Multi-Layer Elevation
Realistic physical lighting is achieved by combining a tight dark ambient shadow with a broader, softer directional blur.
Color Interpolation
Modern browsers interpolate CSS gradients in sRGB or OKLCH. Using contrasting hue pairs often benefits from an explicit intermediate stop to avoid muddy gray mid-tones.
