# Intercom gradient

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

- Page: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/brands/intercom-com
- Brand colors: https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/intercom-com · Brand page: https://brandsweets.com/b/intercom-com
- Palette: primary #0007cb, secondary #ff5600, accents #0007cb
- Source: https://intercom.com (extracted 2026-09-02)

## Brand gradient

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #0007cb 0%, #ff5600 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#0007cb] to-[#ff5600]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 3.19:1 AA-large · black 1.89:1 fail · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0007cb-ff5600?a=135

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink white (inkFor at the midpoint). L shifted −0.11 until the ink passes AA at the worst point (4.64:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #132053 0%, #a06654 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#132053] to-[#a06654]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.64:1 AA · black 1.36:1 fail · banding medium · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.132053-a06654?a=135

## 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 8.09:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #0025d9 0%, #0400bc 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#0025d9] to-[#0400bc]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 9.27:1 AA · black 1.73:1 fail · banding high · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0025d9-0400bc?a=180&in=oklch&hue=shorter
- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #0233e4 0%, #0100c7 100%)`
- Active: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #0012ce 0%, #0400a7 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #1f5eff 0%, #0007cb 50%, #02005f 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#1f5eff] via-[#0007cb] to-[#02005f]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.12:1 AA · black 1.17:1 fail · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.1f5eff-0007cb-02005f?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, #0007cb 0%, #004967 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#0007cb] to-[#004967]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 9.72:1 AA · black 1.89:1 fail · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0007cb-004967?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, #0007cb 0%, #573f00 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#0007cb] to-[#573f00]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 8.96:1 AA · black 1.89:1 fail · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0007cb-573f00?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, #0007cb 0%, #830014 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#0007cb] to-[#830014]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 10.27:1 AA · black 1.89:1 fail · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0007cb-830014?a=135

## CSS custom properties (brand.css)

```css
:root {
  /* Brand gradient (derived) */
  /* worst-case contrast: white 3.19:1 AA-large, black 1.89:1 */
  --brand-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #0007cb 0%, #ff5600 100%);
  /* hero — worst-case contrast: white 4.64:1 AA, black 1.36:1; ink passes AA at the worst point */
  --brand-gradient-hero: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #132053 0%, #a06654 100%);
  --brand-gradient-hero-ink: #ffffff;
  /* button — worst-case contrast: white 9.27:1 AA, black 1.73:1 */
  --brand-gradient-button: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #0025d9 0%, #0400bc 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-hover: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #0233e4 0%, #0100c7 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-active: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #0012ce 0%, #0400a7 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.

## Connect an agent

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.
