How to use all Figma blend modes
Blog post from LogRocket
Blend modes in Figma are akin to mixing paints in traditional art, allowing digital designers to create various visual effects by mathematically blending layers, such as images, colors, or text. Figma offers a wide range of 19 blend modes, including darker, lighter, contrast, comparative, and composite categories, each with unique effects on how layers interact and appear. These blend modes can be applied to layers, fills, frames, groups, or sections, enabling designers to adjust opacity and refine visual outcomes, thus enhancing the user interface with dynamic backgrounds and elements. Utilizing blend modes in Figma aids designers in achieving desired effects like darkening, lightening, or increasing contrast, which are crucial for creating visually appealing and accessible interfaces. The tool's ability to preview blend modes before application simplifies the process for designers to experiment and find the right fit for their designs, while LogRocket offers complementary tools to improve user experience by automating feedback analysis.
