Two Color Neon Sign Text
Two neon words that take turns: both burn, one stutters off, the other hands over, then both come back. The second color is your accent pushed round the color wheel with hue-rotate.
Also known as: pink and blue neon text, alternating neon sign, dual color neon css.

}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.
