I’ve seen a ton of different approaches to it over the years, that all use different technology and all have different advantages and disadvantages. Lean Rada has another interesting take with Minimal CSS-only blurry image placeholders where a single custom property is the seed for massively different CSS backgrounds generated from overlapping radial gradients with oklab colors.
