Gradient Examples

Linear Gradient

background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);

Radial Gradient

background: radial-gradient(circle at center, #f093fb 0%, #f5576c 100%);

Conic Gradient

background: conic-gradient(from 0deg, #ff6b6b, #4ecdc4, #45b7d1, #96ceb4, #ff6b6b);

Gradient Types

Linear Gradient

Colors transition along a straight line

linear-gradient(angle, color1, color2)
Radial Gradient

Colors radiate outward from a center point

radial-gradient(shape, color1, color2)
Conic Gradient

Colors transition rotated around a center point

conic-gradient(from angle, color1, color2)
Repeating Gradient

Pattern of repeating gradient segments

repeating-linear-gradient()

Best Practices for Gradient Design

  • Subtle Transitions: Use similar color hues for elegant, professional gradients
  • Contrast Balance: Ensure text remains readable over gradient backgrounds
  • Performance: CSS gradients are more performant than gradient image files
  • Fallbacks: Always provide solid color fallbacks for older browsers
  • Consistency: Use gradient direction consistently across your design system

Use Case Examples
