📚 CSS Text Shadow Syntax

Basic Syntax

text-shadow: offset-x offset-y blur-radius color;

Parameters:

  • offset-x: Horizontal shadow offset (positive = right, negative = left)
  • offset-y: Vertical shadow offset (positive = down, negative = up)
  • blur-radius: Shadow blur amount (0 = sharp, higher = more blurred)
  • color: Shadow color (hex, rgb, rgba, named colors)

Multiple Shadows

You can apply multiple text shadows by separating them with commas:

text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px red, -2px -2px 4px blue;

💡 Design Tips

🎨

Color Harmony

Use shadow colors that complement your text and background. Darker shadows work well for depth, while colored shadows create artistic effects.

📐

Subtle is Better

Start with small offset values (1-3px) and low opacity. Heavy shadows can make text hard to read and look unprofessional.

💡

Context Matters

Consider your background when designing shadows. Light backgrounds need dark shadows, dark backgrounds need light shadows or glows.

🔄

Layered Effects

Combine multiple shadows with different blur values to create complex, realistic lighting effects and depth.

📱

Mobile Friendly

Test your text shadows on different screen sizes. Heavy effects may impact performance on mobile devices.

♿

Accessibility

Ensure text remains readable with shadows applied. Maintain good contrast ratios for accessibility compliance.
