Modern CSS Filter Effects
Grayscale, blur, hue, sepia, duotone and glow filters for photos, logos, icons and text.
1Grayscale to Color
Keeps images black and white until they are hovered or focused - ideal for logo walls and team grids. Class: fx-grayscale-to-color
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center justify-content-center gap-3 p-3 h-100" style="min-height:200px">

.fx-grayscale-to-color { filter: grayscale(1); transition: filter .5s ease; }
.fx-grayscale-to-color:hover, .fx-grayscale-to-color:focus-visible, :focus-visible > .fx-grayscale-to-color { filter: grayscale(0); }
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
.fx-grayscale-to-color, .fx-grayscale-to-color::before, .fx-grayscale-to-color::after, .fx-grayscale-to-color *, .fx-grayscale-to-color *::before, .fx-grayscale-to-color *::after { animation: none !important; transition: none !important; }
}2Blur Focus
Put it on a row of cards or images: the hovered item stays sharp while its siblings blur and fade. Class: fx-blur-focus
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center justify-content-center gap-3 p-3 h-100" style="min-height:200px">
<div class="fx-blur-focus d-flex gap-2">

.fx-blur-focus > * { transition: filter .4s ease, opacity .4s ease, transform .4s ease; }
.fx-blur-focus:hover > :not(:hover) { filter: blur(3px) saturate(.6); opacity: .65; }
.fx-blur-focus > :hover { transform: translateY(-4px); }
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {

}3Glitch Filter
Short bursts of hue, contrast and position jumps make an image look like a corrupted signal. Class: fx-glitch-filter
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center justify-content-center gap-3 p-3 h-100" style="min-height:200px">

88% { filter: hue-rotate(90deg) saturate(3) contrast(1.6); transform: translate(-4px, 1px); }
