Retro Pop 4

A dynamic gradient-based shader effect featuring diagonal stripes that flow at approximately 32 degrees across the composition. The primary visual consists of alternating bands of cyan (#9ee5ff) and magenta (#e49cff) colors creating a vibrant pastel aesthetic. The stripes have soft, feathered edges with a balance favoring the magenta tones (77% balance). A stretch distortion effect is applied with a center point slightly left of center and above the middle, creating a subtle warping that makes the stripes appear to bend and flow organically across the canvas. The overall effect has a smooth, wave-like quality where the parallel diagonal bands undulate gently. A dithering pattern (Bayer 4x4) is overlaid with a pixel size of 4, adding subtle texture and visual noise that prevents banding and creates a slightly grainy, retro-digital quality. The color space is linear, ensuring smooth transitions. The composition maintains full opacity throughout with normal blending, resulting in a cohesive, modern gradient effect with a soft, dreamy quality. The diagonal orientation combined with the stretch distortion creates a sense of movement and depth.
