Exploring ways to create realistic-looking LEDs using HTML and CSS has been a fun challenge. Achieving a glowing effect for each LED would be simple if the color remained constant. However, I aim for the glow to dynamically adjust based on the LED's color, making traditional methods ineffective. The approach illustrated here is not suitable: https://fiddle.jshell.net/dwv5xxws/. Generating individual classes for each color is not a viable solution either, as I intend for the LEDs to transition smoothly between colors without creating an excessive number of classes.
.led {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 6px 2px #ff0000;
float:left;
margin-right: 10px;
}
<div class="led" style="background-color:red"></div>
<div class="led" style="background-color:green"></div>
<div class="led" style="background-color:blue"></div>

edit: What if we enlarge the size of the LEDs and apply a shadow overlay internally to simulate a glowing effect without altering the LED itself?
