Text Shadow Parameters

Best Practices

  • Use subtle shadows for body text
  • Keep opacity low (30-60%) for natural look
  • Match shadow direction to your light source
  • Use contrasting colors for better visibility
  • Test readability on different backgrounds
  • Avoid excessive blur for small text
  • Consider accessibility and readability

Multiple Text Shadows

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

text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), -1px -1px 2px rgba(255,255,255,0.5);

Accessibility Considerations

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background
  • Don't rely solely on shadows for important information
  • Test with screen readers
  • Avoid shadows that reduce readability
  • Consider users with visual impairments
