About Noise Textures

Noise and grain textures add subtle visual interest to flat backgrounds, creating depth and a tactile, organic feel. They're commonly used to achieve vintage, film photography aesthetics or to reduce banding in gradients.

SVG-based noise uses the <feTurbulence> filter to generate random patterns, while CSS-only approaches use repeating radial gradients for a more structured dot pattern.

Best Practices

Keep It Subtle

Noise should enhance, not dominate. Use low opacity (3-10%) for best results. The effect should be noticeable when removed but not distracting when present.

Consider Context

Noise works great on solid colors and gradients. Be cautious with busy backgrounds where it might create visual clutter.
