Smooth silk-like folds or wave bands in brand colors flow slowly behind the content.

What it does

Built on Silk by react-bits, MIT + Commons Clause. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Soft satin folds or broad blurred waves; one hue family, subtle highlights, slow motion.

When: Consumer and creative brands; music, audio and design tools.

Watch out: Do not pick more than two hues; rainbow silk reads as a screensaver.

Timing: Flow speed low (one fold crossing per 4–6 s).

Also called: silk background, wavy gradient, flowing bands

In HyperFrames

npx hyperframes add flowing-gradient

WebGPU shader; set the two brand colors as variables.

In Remotion

// npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/wavy-background  (seed its noise with frame for seek-safety)

In CapCut

Search Media → Library "silk"/"waves background"; apply Adjust → HSL to shift to brand hue.
