Design Tips for Green and Black Backgrounds
- Shade Variations: Use different greens (#00ff00, #00cc00, #008000) for depth and hierarchy
- Glow Effects: Add box-shadow with green colors for neon-like glows
- Text Contrast: Bright green (#00ff00) or white text ensures readability
- Pattern Overlays: Circuit boards, grids, or organic patterns enhance the theme
- Animation Balance: Subtle animations prevent eye strain on bright greens
- Dark Mode: Perfect base for dark mode interfaces with green accents
