Difference mode

Here's a simplified explanation of how the "difference" blend mode works:

1. For each channel (red, green, blue), the absolute difference between the corresponding color values of the top element and the underlying element is calculated.
2. The resulting color values represent the color differences between the two elements.

The "difference" blend mode is particularly useful for creating effects that highlight differences in color between overlapping elements. It often produces high-contrast and vivid visual effects.
Here's an example of how the "difference" blend mode can be used in CSS:

Edit Copy Hide

.difference-blend-example {
   background-color: blue; /* Background color of the container */
   mix-blend-mode: difference; /* Applying the difference blend mode */
   color: white;
   padding: 20px;
   font-size: 24px;
}

In this example, the element with the class difference-blend-example would appear with a blue background color using the "difference" blend mode. The text within this element would take on a color that represents the differences between the blue background and the text color, resulting in a high-contrast effect.
The "difference" blend mode is often used for creative and artistic effects, such as creating dynamic visuals that emphasize color variations between elements.
