Rainbow Stack

Shadow & Press · Static · pure CSS

A staircase of hard, zero-blur shadow steps marches behind the neutral face, and every step gets its own distinct hue walking the color wheel — full rainbow spread or a tight analogous walk from your chosen start hue. The retro-poster spectral trail, tunable by step count, march angle, hue span, and starting hue.

Rainbow Stack

How it works

Rainbow Stack is a static shadow & press text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.

Controls

Rainbow Stack exposes 4 dedicated controls — Steps, Angle, Hue Span and Start Hue — on top of the shared type controls (font, weight, letter-spacing and case). Open it in the generator to tune every value live, then copy the updated CSS.

CSS

/* Rainbow Stack — made with TEXT-FX · https://text-fx.app
 * HTML: just put the class on any element.
 * Font: 'Bricolage Grotesque', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).
 */

.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Bricolage Grotesque', sans-serif;
  font-weight: 700;
  letter-spacing: -2px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  color: hsl(0 4% 96%);
  text-shadow:
    -7.52px -2.74px 0 hsl(122 85% 58%),
    -15.04px -5.47px 0 hsl(212 85% 58%),
    -22.55px -8.21px 0 hsl(302 85% 58%),
    -30.07px -10.94px 0 hsl(32 85% 58%);
}

Pure CSS — just add the .text-effect class to any element.
