Make it yours

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A smooth abstract gradient mesh rendered with ordered dithering, as though the display could only show a handful of colours: broad organic areas of hue flowing into one another, every transition between them handled by a regular grid of dither dots that thickens as one colour gives way to the next. Flat areas almost solid, the dot pattern sharp, uniform and clearly visible rather than random noise. Limited palette of three or four hues, no subject, no objects, no text, full bleed to every edge.

Tips

1Say ordered dithering, not grain or noise. Random texture gives you a grubby gradient instead of this.
2The dots belong in the transitions. Flat areas should stay clean, which is what makes the pattern read as indexed colour.
3Three or four hues. A full spectrum turns the dithering to mud.
