# ClickUp gradient

Gradients derived from ClickUp's published colour tokens (nominative use; no brand assets). Deterministic: the same values are served as `--brand-gradient*` in the brand's brand.css.

## Brand gradient

ΔE_OK 0.126 < 0.15 between #7612fa and #7b68ee — a 2-stop would read as a flat fill, so this is a tonal ramp of #7612fa.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #a282ff 0%, #7612fa 50%, #42009a 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#a282ff] via-[#7612fa] to-[#42009a]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.93:1 fail · black 1.70:1 fail · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.a282ff-7612fa-42009a?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink white (inkFor at the midpoint). L shifted −0.12 until the ink passes AA at the worst point (4.51:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #79719c 0%, #453979 50%, #21113a 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#79719c] via-[#453979] to-[#21113a]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.51:1 AA · black 1.21:1 fail · banding high · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.79719c-453979-21113a?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Button / CTA

ΔL 0.08 top→bottom in the primary's hue (a lit surface, not a rainbow); hover L +0.03, active L −0.03. White ink passes AA on the surface and both states (worst 4.91:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #812dff 0%, #6c00ec 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#812dff] to-[#6c00ec]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.60:1 AA · black 2.85:1 fail · banding high · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.812dff-6c00ec?a=180&in=oklch&hue=shorter
- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #8743ff 0%, #7305f6 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #a282ff 0%, #7612fa 50%, #42009a 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#a282ff] via-[#7612fa] to-[#42009a]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.93:1 fail · black 1.70:1 fail · banding medium

## Analogous

Partner hue from the analogous rule at the source colour's lightness.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #7612fa 0%, #075be4 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#7612fa] to-[#075be4]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.78:1 AA · black 3.24:1 AA-large · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.7612fa-075be4?a=135

## Complementary

Partner hue from the complementary rule at the source colour's lightness. ΔH 180° > 140° — interpolating in oklch (shorter hue) keeps the midpoint saturated.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #7612fa 0%, #6c6e09 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#7612fa] to-[#6c6e09]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.41:1 AA · black 3.23:1 AA-large · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.7612fa-6c6e09?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Triadic

Partner hue from the triadic rule at the source colour's lightness.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #7612fa 0%, #a24e08 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#7612fa] to-[#a24e08]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.74:1 AA · black 3.24:1 AA-large · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.7612fa-a24e08?a=135

## CSS custom properties (brand.css)

```css
:root {
  /* Brand gradient (derived) */

  /* button — worst-case contrast: white 5.60:1 AA, black 2.85:1 */
  --brand-gradient-button: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #812dff 0%, #6c00ec 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-hover: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #8743ff 0%, #7305f6 100%);

## Gradient maker

Every maker URL is the gradient's state: `/gradients/new/v1.<hex>-<hex>[_pos]?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter&e=soft&g=8`. Hand one to a human, let them refine, and read the link they return.
