Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like backdrop-hue-rotate-90 and backdrop-hue-rotate-180 to rotate the hue of an element's backdrop:

backdrop-hue-rotate-90

backdrop-hue-rotate-180

backdrop-hue-rotate-270

<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-hue-rotate-90 ..."></div></div><div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-hue-rotate-180 ..."></div></div><div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-hue-rotate-270 ..."></div></div>

Using negative values

Use utilities like -backdrop-hue-rotate-90 and -backdrop-hue-rotate-180 to set a negative backdrop hue rotation value:

-backdrop-hue-rotate-15

-backdrop-hue-rotate-45

-backdrop-hue-rotate-90

<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 -backdrop-hue-rotate-15 ..."></div></div><div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 -backdrop-hue-rotate-45 ..."></div></div><div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 -backdrop-hue-rotate-90 ..."></div></div>

Using a custom value

Use the backdrop-hue-rotate-[<value>] syntax to set the backdrop hue rotation based on a completely custom value:

<div class="backdrop-hue-rotate-[3.142rad] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the backdrop-hue-rotate-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="backdrop-hue-rotate-(--my-backdrop-hue-rotation) ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

This is just a shorthand for backdrop-hue-rotate-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a backdrop-filter: hue-rotate() utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="backdrop-hue-rotate-15 md:backdrop-hue-rotate-0 ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
