Prop	Type	Default	Description
`colors`	`string[]`	`chart-2, chart-3, chart-1`	CSS colors drawn from in order. Any CSS color or `var()`.
`speed`	`number`	`1`	Playback speed multiplier.
`density`	`number`	`1`	How many elements to draw. Higher is busier.

Also accepts all <div> props except children.

Decorative: the wrapper is aria-hidden and pointer-events-none, so it never takes focus or blocks clicks.
Under prefers-reduced-motion: reduce it draws one still frame and does not animate.

Each line is one curve whose sway depends on its position, so neighbours move almost together, which is what reads as silk.
Fills its nearest positioned parent (absolute inset-0). Put page content above it with relative isolate on the parent and -z-10 on the backdrop.
Draws with the 2D canvas only (no WebGL, no extra packages), caps the pixel ratio, and stops its loop while off-screen or in a hidden tab.
