3. color-mix() Function
Mix colors directly in CSS, no preprocessor needed.

background: color-mix(in oklch, red 50%, blue);
4. @starting-style (Entry Animations)
Animate elements appearing from display: none.
This popup animates IN from opacity: 0!
@starting-style {
.popup {
opacity: 0;
transform: scale(0.5);
}
}
.popup {
transition: opacity 0.5s, transform 0.5s;
}
5. @scope (Scoped CSS)
Limit CSS rules to specific sections of your DOM.
@scope (.card) {
h2 {
color: var(--color-primary);
}
p {
color: var(--color-text-muted);
}
}
/* These styles ONLY apply inside .card elements */
This prevents style leakage and eliminates the need for complex naming conventions like BEM.
