Retro styles repeat one motif across the whole frame and keep every edge hard, so they stay sharp at 4K instead of softening the way a gradient does. They use the four colours as a four-colour print job rather than as a ramp, which is why they come alive on the warmer, more limited moods — the burgundy, wine and forest-and-gold palettes were picked for exactly this kind of flat period colour.

All retro wallpapers

• SunburstPro Wedges of two warm tones radiating from a low sun disc, with a flat band of the darkest colour cutting straight across as the ground beneath it.
• Checker floor A checkerboard floor running away to a vanishing point on the horizon, its rows packing tighter with distance under a two-tone sky.
• Atomic scatter Eight-pointed starbursts, boomerang arcs and ringed dots scattered across a pale ground with plenty of air between them, in the mid-century way.
• Neon gridPro A glowing perspective grid running to the horizon under a banded sun disc, the grid lines and the sun sharing one vanishing point on a near-black field.
• Rainbow arcsPro Nested rings of flat colour anchored to the corners of the frame and clipped by its edges, overlapping into the stacked quarter-rainbows of a seventies poster.
• Tracking lines A field of fine scanlines over a graded ground, broken by a few displaced bands that throw the two accent colours out to either side like chroma bleeding off damaged tape.
• Chrome cassettePro A large eighties cassette deck, built from hard printed panels, twin tape reels and a row of tiny controls, sitting on a dark field with a subtle paper grain.
• Pixel horizon An 8-bit landscape on a coarse pixel grid: dithered sky bands, a blocky sun, drifting clouds and three ranges of jagged snow-capped mountains, scaled up hard-edged like an old console screen.
