# Foot Locker gradient

Gradients derived from Foot Locker'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

ΔH 167° > 140° — interpolating in oklch (shorter hue) keeps the midpoint saturated.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #0e1111 0%, #d12e20 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#0e1111] to-[#d12e20]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.09:1 AA · black 1.11:1 fail · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0e1111-d12e20?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink white (inkFor at the midpoint). Passes AA for that ink at the worst point (4.78:1) without adjusting L.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #101111 0%, #9a655d 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#101111] to-[#9a655d]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.78:1 AA · black 1.11:1 fail · banding medium · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.101111-9a655d?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 16.22:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #171a1a 0%, #060909 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#171a1a] to-[#060909]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 17.51:1 AA · black 1.05:1 fail · banding high · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.171a1a-060909?a=180&in=oklch&hue=shorter
- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #1e2121 0%, #0c0f0f 100%)`
- Active: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #101313 0%, #030404 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #393c3c 0%, #0e1111 50%, #000000 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#393c3c] via-[#0e1111] to-[#000000]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 11.14:1 AA · black 1.00:1 fail · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.393c3c-0e1111-000000?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Analogous

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

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #0e1111 0%, #0e1110 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#0e1111] to-[#0e1110]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 18.97:1 AA · black 1.11:1 fail · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0e1111-0e1110?a=135

## Complementary

Partner hue from the complementary rule at the source colour's lightness. ΔH 172° > 140° — interpolating in oklch (shorter hue) keeps the midpoint saturated.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #0e1111 0%, #150e0f 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#0e1111] to-[#150e0f]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 18.95:1 AA · black 1.10:1 fail · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0e1111-150e0f?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, #0e1111 0%, #130f14 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#0e1111] to-[#130f14]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 18.93:1 AA · black 1.10:1 fail · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0e1111-130f14?a=135

## CSS custom properties (brand.css)

```css

  --brand-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #0e1111 0%, #d12e20 100%);
  /* hero — worst-case contrast: white 4.78:1 AA, black 1.11:1; ink passes AA at the worst point */
  --brand-gradient-hero: linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #101111 0%, #9a655d 100%);
  --brand-gradient-hero-ink: #ffffff;
  /* button — worst-case contrast: white 17.51:1 AA, black 1.05:1 */
  --brand-gradient-button: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #171a1a 0%, #060909 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-hover: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #1e2121 0%, #0c0f0f 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-active: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #101313 0%, #030404 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-ink: #ffffff;
}
```

## 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.

Point any MCP client at the BrandSweets gradients endpoint for the same engine and corpus:

- Endpoint: https://mcp.brandsweets.com/gradients/mcp
- Tools: `make_gradient` (2–5 colours → CSS with the interpolation space, Tailwind v4, SVG, PNG URL, DTCG token + the contrast/banding/gamut report), `brand_gradients` (brand slug or palette → brand gradient, hero, button, variants).
- Resource: `gradients://corpus` — the whole bundled corpus as JSON.
