Why Use CSS Patterns Instead of Images
- No HTTP requests — patterns load instantly with zero network cost
- Infinitely scalable — sharp at any resolution, perfect for retina displays
- Easy to customize — change colors and scale with CSS variables
- Dark mode ready — override CSS variables for instant dark mode support
- Tiny file size — a few lines of CSS vs. kilobytes of image data
