The tile
Tiled over your colour
The Noise Texture Generator produces seamless grain and static as transparent PNGs designed to be laid over something else. They tile without a seam, so a small file covers any area through background-repeat, and the CSS with the tile inlined as a data URI removes the request entirely.
A noise overlay is the cheapest way to stop a flat design looking flat. It gives a surface texture, hides gradient banding, and is what makes an interface feel like a material rather than a colour.
The textures here are generated as transparent PNGs designed to be laid over something else, and they tile seamlessly, so a small file covers any area through background-repeat. Monochrome and coloured noise are both available, with control over density, grain size and opacity. A CSS snippet with the texture inlined as a data URI is generated too, which for a small tile removes the request entirely.
Generated as a wrapping field, so the right edge continues into the left with no visible repeat seam.
The texture is alpha-only, so it lays over any colour or image rather than replacing it.
The tile as a data URI inside a background rule, which for a small texture removes the request entirely.
Shown repeated rather than as a single tile, which is the only way to spot a seam or an obvious pattern.
A light grain over a gradient dithers the 8-bit steps and reads as smoother than the clean version.
Fine monochrome grain, coarse static, or coloured noise.
Subtle is usually right — 5 to 15 percent opacity over a colour.
The preview shows the texture repeated, so a visible seam is obvious.
Download the tile, or copy CSS with it inlined as a data URI.
It gives flat colour a surface quality, hides the banding that gradients show on 8-bit displays, and stops large areas of solid colour looking like unfinished placeholders.
Yes. It is generated as a wrapping field rather than a random rectangle, so the right edge continues into the left and the bottom into the top.
Above about 20 percent opacity it stops being texture and starts being visible dirt. Between 5 and 15 percent is where it does its work without being noticed.
128 or 256 pixels. Small enough to stay a tiny file, large enough that the repeat is not obvious as a pattern.
