Orphist Colour Discs

Endless Rhythm

When to use it

Ambient art-inspired backgrounds, gallery headers, or looping decorative banners needing bold color and motion.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible overlaid text (high-contrast moving shapes compete with copy) or where reduced-motion users expect a static image.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change SPECTRUM to cool blues and purples (e.g. ['#1f6fd0','#7b3fa0','#2fa86a','#1a9eb5','#4b3fa0','#0d3b8c']), slow the march to 36s, and increase disc count per sequence from 14 to 20. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • SPECTRUM color array (6 hues)
  • sizes array (disc size sequence)
  • animation duration (22s in del05-march)
  • disc count per sequence (i<14)
  • margin spacing formula (8+(i%3)*6)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • double seq() call for seamless 50% loop
  • visibilitychange pause listener
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (animation:none + no JS animation)
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Band is a single horizontal row — no vertical stacking or grid layout without restructuring
  • Background color hardcoded in CSS (#0c0d11)

  • Simultaneous Disc7 concentric spectrum rings counter-rotate in alternating directions; a shimmer overlay and pulsing center dot evoke Orphist colour.
  • Circular Rhythm26 color discs pulse with sine-wave rhythm via radial gradients on a dark canvas; additive blending creates luminous overlaps in the Orphist palette.
  • Prismatic Window20 colored rectangular planes in a 5x4 grid breathe, skew, and pulse opacity in staggered sine waves over a dark background, evoking Orphist window planes.
  • Colour Wheel Pulse36-segment spectral disc spins while an energy crest sweeps its segments, causing slices to pulse outward and flare bright as the wave passes.
  • Contrast PairsThree split circles rotate complementary halves against each other — red/green, blue/orange, violet/yellow — enacting Orphist's simultaneous contrast law.
  • Sun & Moon DiscsTwo large radial-gradient discs — a warm sun and cool moon — orbit the canvas center in opposite phase, blending with 'lighter' compositing where they…
