History of polka dots
Polka dots got their name from the 19th-century polka dance craze. The evenly arranged circles became a visual language of friendliness, joy, and innocence. From 1950s American fashion (Minnie Mouse's red dots, Marilyn Monroe) to 1960s Yayoi Kusama's art — still a graphic-design classic.
FAQ
What's the staggered (honeycomb) layout?
Like a beehive — even rows shift by half a column. More natural and visually balanced than a grid.
CSS-only dots?
`background: radial-gradient(circle, #0f172a 10px, transparent 10px) 0 0 / 40px 40px` works but SVG is more precise.
Moiré artifacts?
Tiny dots packed closely cause shimmering. Keep spacing ≥ 3× dot size.
