Question 1

What is claymorphism?

Accepted Answer

Claymorphism is a UI design style that mimics soft, 3D clay or plastic elements. It uses large border-radius, layered box-shadows (outer drop shadow + inner light shadow on top + inner dark shadow on bottom) and pastel colors to create a tactile, squishy look.

Question 2

How is claymorphism different from neumorphism?

Accepted Answer

Neumorphism blends elements into the background with subtle light/dark shadows. Claymorphism makes elements pop out with bold rounded shapes, vibrant pastel colors and more pronounced 3D shadows — giving a softer, more playful look.

Question 3

Does claymorphism work in all browsers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Claymorphism uses standard CSS properties (background, border-radius, box-shadow) that are supported in all browsers including older ones. No backdrop-filter or modern features required.

Question 4

Can I customize the colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the color pickers to change the background color, and the light/dark shadow colors to match your design. Pastel and light colors work best for the clay effect.
