Two-Tone Split Text
A slanted line divides the word into your accent and the page's text color, and slides back and forth. One hard-stop gradient, with currentColor as the second tone so it suits both themes.
Also known as: split color text css, half and half text, duotone text effect.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
