Frequently Asked Questions
What is Neumorphism / Soft UI?
Neumorphism is a design trend that uses dual soft shadows (one dark, one light) to make UI elements appear extruded directly from the background.
Why does the background color need to match the element color in Neumorphism?
Neumorphic effects rely on the illusion that the element is molded from the same physical surface as the background.
