Neumorphism
Neumorphism is a UI style where elements appear extruded from or pressed into a monochrome surface using paired light and dark shadows.
Elements look extruded from or pressed into the background using two offset shadows — light top-left, dark bottom-right — on a single monochrome surface. It looks sleek but has weak affordance and poor contrast, so it suits decorative controls, not primary actions.
