noisy
one of the best cheap tricks for adding texture to a plain color can now be done in 2.3kb of javascript instead of opening photoshop. noisy is a jquery plugin lets you generate random noise to a given element. even comes with a cool set of options =>
$('body').noisy({
noiseParticles: 0.9,
tileSize: 200,
backgroundColor: '#EDEBDE',
maxNoiseOpacity: 0.078,
fallbackImage: 'fallback.png',
monochromatic: false
});
