## Where to use it

This one suits calm places: the welcome screen of a meditation app, the website of a yoga studio or the waiting room before a live stream starts. The colors rotate very slowly and the edges swell and relax like breathing. Think of it as an animated conic gradient background that never really draws attention to itself.

Speed is the setting to watch here. Around the default it feels relaxing; push it too far and the pulse gets anxious, which is the opposite of the point. It sits best behind a single short line of text and one button.

## Code

### HTML

```html
<div class="pt-breathe"><i></i><b></b></div>
```

### CSS

```css
.pt-breathe {
  --c1: #0071e3;
  --c2: #8b5cf6;
  --c3: #14b8a6;
  --k: 1;
  /* velocidad */
  --d: 1;
  /* densidad / escala */
  --o: 1;
  /* opacidad */
  --bg: #05060a;
  --fg: #ffffff;
  --blend: screen;
  min-height: 100vh;
}

.pt-breathe {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: var(--bg);
  container-type: size;
  isolation: isolate;
}

.pt-breathe>* {
  opacity: var(--o);
}

.pt-breathe i {
  position: absolute;
  inset: -50%;
  background: conic-gradient(from 0deg,var(--c1),var(--c2),var(--c3),var(--c1));
  filter: blur(80px);
  will-change: transform;
  animation: pt-breathe-r calc(30s / var(--k)) linear infinite;
}

.pt-breathe b {
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0;
  background: radial-gradient(circle at 50% 50%,transparent 15%,var(--bg) 85%);
  animation: pt-breathe-b calc(8s / var(--k)) ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes pt-breathe-r {
  to {
    transform: rotate(360deg);
  }
}

@keyframes pt-breathe-b {
  0%,100% {
    transform: scale(1);
  }
  50% {
    transform: scale(1.35);
  }

````text
I want to add the “Breathing gradient” block (Backgrounds) from AIMRAN Library to my project.

## What it is
Three colors turn inside a huge blurred conic gradient while a soft vignette pulses in and out.

## Chosen settings
- Color 1: #0071e3
- Color 2: #8b5cf6
- Color 3: #14b8a6
- Speed: 1x (from 0.2 to 3x)
- Density / scale: 1x (from 0.5 to 2x)
- Opacity: 1 (from 0.2 to 1)

## What I need
1. Add it to my project with the same look and animation as the reference code: same sizes, colours, radii, shadows, timings and easing.
2. It is built with plain HTML and CSS (the reference wraps it in a React component with its CSS). If my project uses something else (Vue, Svelte, Astro, plain HTML…), translate it without losing any behaviour. If I use Tailwind, turn the styles into classes; if not, keep the CSS in its own file.
3. Expose the settings above as props (or CSS variables) with those values as defaults.
4. Make it work well on phones: nothing that depends only on hover, touch targets of at least 44 px and no overflow on 320 px screens.
5. Make it look right in light and dark mode.
6. Keep it accessible: semantic HTML, roles and aria-* where needed, visible focus and keyboard support.
7. Respect prefers-reduced-motion: with reduced motion, no big animations but the same end result.

## Reference code
```tsx
// @ts-nocheck
import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";

const css = `
.pt-breathe {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: var(--bg);

}

.pt-breathe>* {
  opacity: var(--o);
}

.pt-breathe i {
  position: absolute;
  inset: -50%;
  background: conic-gradient(from 0deg,var(--c1),var(--c2),var(--c3),var(--c1));
  filter: blur(80px);
  will-change: transform;
  animation: pt-breathe-r calc(30s / var(--k)) linear infinite;
}

.pt-breathe b {
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0;
  background: radial-gradient(circle at 50% 50%,transparent 15%,var(--bg) 85%);
  animation: pt-breathe-b calc(8s / var(--k)) ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes pt-breathe-r {
  to {
    transform: rotate(360deg);
  }
}

@keyframes pt-breathe-b {
  0%,100% {
    transform: scale(1);
  }
  50% {
    transform: scale(1.35);
  }
}

`;

export default function PatternBreathe() {
  const ref = useRef(null);
  return (
    <>
      <style>{css}</style>
      <div
        ref={ref}
        className="pt-breathe"
        style={{
