AI Prompt
Use a frosted translucent film over a colorful but muted background. Keep the film low contrast, with diffused edges, soft grain, and readable foreground text.
Tailwind notes
Use backdrop-blur-md, bg-white/10 or bg-black/15, a low-alpha border, and a subtle grain overlay.
Performance notes
Prefer medium blur values. Large full-screen frosted layers should be tested on older phones.
