# Xiaomi gradient

Gradients derived from Xiaomi'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 0.000 < 0.15 between #ff6900 and #ff6900 — a 2-stop would read as a flat fill, so this is a tonal ramp of #ff6900.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #ffc4a5 0%, #ff6900 50%, #b53800 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#ffc4a5] via-[#ff6900] to-[#b53800]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.53:1 fail · black 3.53:1 AA-large · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.ffc4a5-ff6900-b53800?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink black (inkFor at the midpoint). L shifted +0.05 until the ink passes AA at the worst point (4.61:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #f2ddd2 0%, #d3a089 50%, #966c5f 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#f2ddd2] via-[#d3a089] to-[#966c5f]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.31:1 fail · black 4.61:1 AA · banding high · ink #000000

## 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. Black ink passes AA on the surface and both states (worst 5.54:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #ff792d 0%, #f15c00 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#ff792d] to-[#f15c00]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.62:1 fail · black 6.27:1 AA · banding high · ink #000000

- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #ff8c50 0%, #fb6600 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #ffc4a5 0%, #ff6900 50%, #b53800 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#ffc4a5] via-[#ff6900] to-[#b53800]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.53:1 fail · black 3.53:1 AA-large · banding high

## Analogous

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

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #ff6900 0%, #ff5f78 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#ff6900] to-[#ff5f78]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.88:1 fail · black 7.15:1 AA · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.ff6900-ff5f78?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, #ff6900 0%, #00afdb 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#ff6900] to-[#00afdb]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.41:1 fail · black 7.27:1 AA · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.ff6900-00afdb?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, #ff6900 0%, #00ba86 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#ff6900] to-[#00ba86]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.50:1 fail · black 7.27:1 AA · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.ff6900-00ba86?a=135

## 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.
