# Animated Gradient With SVG

> An animated multi-color gradient background effect with SVG elements.  Animated gradients can be achieved with many different techniques (shaders, CSS gradients, etc.), this component uses simple SVG circles with a blur filter to create the effect.  1. For each color in the colors prop array, the component creates an SVG circle element 2. Each circle is given a random initial position using percentage values 3. The movement of each circle is controlled by 8 CSS variables that define target positions: --tx-1 and --ty-1 for the first position --tx-2 and --ty-2 for the second position And so on for positions 3 and 4 4. These variables are set to random values between -0.5 and 0.5.
