Over here at CSS Newbie, we love using CSS to create unique text effects for our projects. Today, we’re going to use CSS to create a split-color text effect, where an angled line is drawn through a block of text, and the text is one color above the line, and another color below the line. It’s a really neat effect and a great way to add both color and dimension to your projects. To see how it works, check out the snippets below.<\/p>\n

First we’ll need some pretty straightforward HTML to define your text, which can say anything you like. Your HTML should look something like this:<\/p>\n

<div class=\"content\">\n\u00a0 \u00a0 <h1 data-letters=\"pizza is life\">pizza is life<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/pre>\n
All you need is a div and an h1 tag. Make sure you include an attribute (can be called whatever you like, as long as you remember to call\u00a0it as a variable later on in your CSS) whose value matches your text, in this case: pizza is life.<\/p>\n
Now it’s time for the css:<\/p>\n
::-moz-selection {\n background: #5b63fe;\n}\n::selection {\n background: #5b63fe;\n}\nh1 {\n width: 100%;\n height: 100%;\n display: -webkit-box;\n display: -ms-flexbox;\n display: flex;\n -webkit-box-align: center;\n -ms-flex-align: center;\n align-items: center;\n text-align: center;\n position: absolute;\n margin: 0;\n font-family: 'Helvetica', sans-serif;\n color: #ff4d7f;\n font-size: 50px;\n letter-spacing: -0.225rem;\n background: white;\n -webkit-box-pack: center;\n -ms-flex-pack: center;\n justify-content: center;\n z-index: 1;\n -webkit-transition: font-size 250ms cubic-bezier(0.59, 0.04, 0.3, 1.43);\n transition: font-size 250ms cubic-bezier(0.59, 0.04, 0.3, 1.43);\n}\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n h1 {\n font-size: 80px;\n }\n}\n@media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\n h1 {\n font-size: 100px;\n }\n}\nh1:after {\n content: attr(data-letters);\n position: absolute;\n left: 0;\n z-index: 2;\n overflow: hidden;\n white-space: wrap;\n width: 100%;\n height: 100%;\n top: 0;\n display: -webkit-box;\n display: -ms-flexbox;\n display: flex;\n -webkit-box-align: center;\n -ms-flex-align: center;\n align-items: center;\n text-align: center;\n position: absolute;\n -webkit-box-pack: center;\n -ms-flex-pack: center;\n justify-content: center;\n color: #e3f7f0;\n background: #5b63fe;\n -webkit-clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 25%, 0 77%);\n clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 25%, 0 77%);\n}<\/pre>\n
So now, your code should look like this:<\/p>\n
\"Screen<\/p>\n
Pretty cool, right? You’ll notice that the text above the blue line is a light minty green, while the text below the line is a bright fuchsia. We achieve this effect mostly using pseudo-selectors (:after) and the useful clip-path property. Try it out for yourself in your own projects — feel free to customize the colors, text, and font family.<\/p>\n
Share and Enjoy !<\/h3>
