<feTurbulence>

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The <feTurbulence> SVG filter primitive creates an image using the Perlin turbulence function. It allows the synthesis of artificial textures like clouds or marble. The resulting image will fill the entire filter primitive subregion.

Like other filter primitives, it handles color components in the linearRGB color space by default. You can use color-interpolation-filters to use sRGB instead.
