Rainbow Text Animation Using HTML and CSS

Hello and welcome to the Codewithrandom blog. We'll look at how to make a Rainbow Text Animation Using HTML and CSS. I hope you will enjoy our blog. We will teach you how to create rainbow text animation.

On Web pages, we frequently use various types of headings. In that heading, I want to use a variety of animations. This rainbow text effect will add a lot of interest to your plain text.

To make these animated rainbow text effects, I first created an HTML text. Then I used CSS to add colour here. A total of seven different colours have been used here.

Step1: Lets Start with adding some Basic HTML for Rainbow Text Animation

The HTML is hypertext markup language is the main structure of our webpage which will help us to display our content to the browser.

All the HTML document must start with <!doctypehtml> this helps the browser to understand the code written follows the lastest HTML format.

The HTML document itself begin With and end with .

The content that will be displayed in the brower comes under the body section

.Inside the body tag main content lies.

Now let's take a look at our HTML Code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Rainbow Text</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="rainbowText">Code With Random</div>
  </body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We've included an external style link in our HTML's header.
We've added a div tag in the body of our HTML to contain our main text ("CodeWithRandom"). We will add the rainbow animation using CSS only in this text.

Now let's take look at our output without styling.

So we have added the HTML tags and Their contents, Now it’s time to make it attractive by adding the CSS code.

Step2: CSS code for Star Rating

Cascading Style Sheets is a style sheet language that is used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language like HTML or XML.

Now we will look at our CSS code.

body {
  background-color: #333;
  display: flex;
  justify-content:center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}

.rainbowText {
  font-family:arial black;
  font-size:70px;
  background-image: 
    linear-gradient(to right, red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo,violet); 
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;  
  animation: move 35s linear infinite;
}

@keyframes move {
    to {
        background-position: 4500vh;
    }
}
@media screen and (max-width:900px){
  .rainbowText{
    font-size:2rem;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width:600px){
  .rainbowText{
    font-size:1rem;
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now that we've included our CSS code in our article, let's go over it step by step.

Step1: First, we'll add a black background to the body of our webpage. The display is set to "flex," and the content is set to "centre." The height is defined as  100 vh.

body {
  background-color: #333;
  display: flex;
  justify-content:center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step2: We will now add different colours to our text by using the ".rainbowText" class. The font family is "Arial," and the font size is "70px." Using the background-image property, we will now add a linear gradient with seven different colours to our text. We've also added a "move" animation with an infinite loop.

.rainbowText {
  font-family:arial black;
  font-size:70px;
  background-image: 
    linear-gradient(to right, red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo,violet); 
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;  
  animation: move 35s linear infinite;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step3: We also added some keyframes to our animation so that we can see the gradual changes of different colours in our text, which will look like a rainbow.

@keyframes move {
    to {
        background-position: 4500vh;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step4: Now we'll make our website more responsive. To add responsiveness, we used media query. We have defined two maximum screen widths (max-width: 900px): if the screen size of our window is equal to or less than the defined width, the font size of our text will change to 2 rem; another maximum screen width is defined at 600px; if the screen size of our window is less than the defined screen size, the font size of our text will change to 1.5 rem.

@media screen and (max-width:900px){
  .rainbowText{
    font-size:2rem;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width:600px){
  .rainbowText{
    font-size:1rem;
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now we have completed our css code.

We've finished styling our website. Let's take a look at our video preview now so we can fully grasp the concept of rainbow text animation.

We've finished our rainbow text animation project with HTML and CSS. This project was simple, but it taught you how to add different colours to text and how to add animation to text.

Now We have Successfully created our Rainbow Text Animation Project. You can use this project for your personal webpage and We hope you understood the project , If you any doub't feel free to comment!!
