use CSS background tiles

[alifeee]

WIth the change of the header -> #86, colour will be removed from the page

We could add a subtle CSS background pattern to make it look cuter

Some examples are on https://www.magicpattern.design/tools/css-backgrounds

Some examples of it on a site are: https://alifeee.co.uk/sheffield-transformed-graph/, https://weeknotes.alifeee.co.uk/

p.s. we could also switch the site to light mode to match the magazine

thoughts @ngsilverman ?

@alifeee personally I'm not a big fan of the background patterns—I think it reduces readability. I do like the idea of switching to light mode, especially since that matches the magazine as you've pointed out. I also agree with the general sentiment of wanting to add color, but I would suggest maybe doing that through illustrations, which is also what the magazine does. I can imagine one in the logo area and on the article pages at least. 🤔

I can understand your legibility concern. Perhaps, then, we ought to consider colour choices over background patterns 👍
