Frosted Glass

Frosted Glass, often referred to as "Crystal" style, is the original manifestation of the trend. While it traces its lineage back to Windows Vista's Aero, its modern renaissance is largely credited to the design of iOS 7's Control Center and later, the macOS Big Sur interface. It aims to create a visual language that is light, airy, and physically layered by simulating frosted glass panes floating over colorful backgrounds. It is often seen as a more accessible and modern evolution of Neumorphism. Visual Characteristics Color & Background (Pastels & Mesh): Unlike the void-like backgrounds of the Dark version, Light Glassmorphism relies on a pristine white or light grey canvas. To demonstrate translucency, the background typically features high-brightness, low-saturation Pastel Colors or flowing Mesh Gradients that shift beneath the UI. Materiality (Frosted White): UI containers are rendered as semi-transparent milky white frosted glass. The key configuration is a high-opacity white background (e.g., rgba(255,255,255, 0.7)) paired with a strong backdrop blur. This allows background colors to bleed through softly without compromising the readability of the text. Shadows as Depth: On a light background, white glass cannot rely on "glows" for separation. Therefore, Soft Drop Shadows are critical. Designers typically use shadows tinted with a hint of the ambient color (e.g., faint blue) rather than pure black, maintaining the interface's clean and ethereal aesthetic.

Style System

**Role:** You are a Senior Frontend Designer specializing in "Clean UI" and Apple-style aesthetics. You are an expert in CSS box-shadow layering and backdrop filters. **Task:** Create a Light Glassmorphism landing page for "CLEAR_BANK". **[CONFIGURATION]** - **[STYLE_NAME]:** Light Glassmorphism - **[INDUSTRY]:** FinTech - **[TECH_STACK]:** HTML5 + Vanilla CSS3 (Embedded). No Tailwind. - **[PAGE_STRUCTURE]:** Navbar, Hero (Text + 3D Card), Features, Stats, Footer. **Technical Requirements:** 1. **Global Variables (`:root`):** - **Colors:** `--primary: #2563EB;` (Royal Blue), `--text-main: #1E293B;` (Slate 800), `--text-light: #64748B;`. - **Backgrounds:** `--bg-light: #F8FAFC;`. - **Glass Config:** * `--glass-bg: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.65);` (High opacity white). * `--glass-border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);` (Almost solid white border). * `--glass-shadow: 0 8px 32px rgba(31, 38, 135, 0.07);` (Subtle colored shadow, NOT black). 2. **Visual Effects (The "Crystal" Look):** - **Pastel Mesh Background:** Instead of dark orbs, create 3 large divs with pastel background colors (Blue, Pink, Violet) and animate them moving slowly behind the glass cards. - **Frosted Glass Class:** ```css .glass-card { background: var(--glass-bg); backdrop-filter: blur(20px); -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(20px); border: var(--glass-border); box-shadow: var(--glass-shadow); border-radius: 24px; } ``` - **Text Contrast:** Ensure all typography is Dark Grey or Navy Blue to maintain WCAG readability standards against the light glass. 3. **Layout & Details:** - **Hero:** Use a clean 2-column layout. - **Buttons:** Solid gradient buttons with a subtle `box-shadow` to lift them off the glass. - **Scrollbar:** Customize to be thin and light grey.
