Someone discovered CSS blend modes!

Blend modes are usually either boring (e.g. sepia) or used to make something hacky that doesn't have a better solution...

But every now and then someone uses blend modes to their fullest potential and I get all fuzzy inside.

Would have been a nice combo with device orientation, but alas, that's now considered a security hazard.

I'm curious what security hazard you're referring to? Just wondering if I missed a news cycle, because I don't recall hearing about a security issue in this context.

At one point, this was available by default, but no longer.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Right, but the colors within the SVG are what is cycling. It's not a rasterized image, so you could create a "pixel map". I'm not saying it's not convoluted as hell, but the effect [w|c]ould look paletted

At that point what's the purpose of having a mask image + blending at all?

because you can now overlay onto other RGB rasterized images

The SVG is just the spectral map. We're using its native possibilites to pull off some other crazy wild hare of an idea to do things that other image compositing programs do, but in a browser. I'm way way outside a box here, but that's where I prefer to play. This is one of those things where I'm taking an idea that someone developed with a specific idea, but I'm jerking the wheel hard left to suggest something zanny just because it might be interesting and cool. Following directions and creator's intent is boring ;-)
