# Netflix gradient

Gradients derived from Netflix'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

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #e50914 0%, #468254 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#e50914] to-[#468254]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.56:1 AA · black 4.37:1 AA-large · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.e50914-468254?a=135

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink white (inkFor at the midpoint). L shifted −0.01 until the ink passes AA at the worst point (4.59:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #a3655c 0%, #627565 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#a3655c] to-[#627565]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.59:1 AA · black 4.24:1 AA-large · banding high · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.a3655c-627565?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. L shifted −0.06 so white ink passes AA on the surface and both states (worst 4.59:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #de0008 0%, #ba0000 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#de0008] to-[#ba0000]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.11:1 AA · black 3.09:1 AA-large · banding high · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.de0008-ba0000?a=180&in=oklch&hue=shorter
- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #e91419 0%, #c90000 100%)`
- Active: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #d20000 0%, #ab0000 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #ff8374 0%, #e50914 50%, #920000 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#ff8374] via-[#e50914] to-[#920000]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.40:1 fail · black 2.22:1 fail · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.ff8374-e50914-920000?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, #e50914 0%, #db087a 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#e50914] to-[#db087a]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.78:1 AA · black 4.32:1 AA-large · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.e50914-db087a?a=135

## Complementary

Partner hue from the complementary rule at the source colour's lightness. ΔH 179° > 140° — interpolating in oklch (shorter hue) keeps the midpoint saturated.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #e50914 0%, #078b99 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#e50914] to-[#078b99]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 3.89:1 AA-large · black 4.37:1 AA-large · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.e50914-078b99?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, #e50914 0%, #07943b 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#e50914] to-[#07943b]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 3.94:1 AA-large · black 4.37:1 AA-large · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.e50914-07943b?a=135

## CSS custom properties (brand.css)

```css
:root {
  /* Brand gradient (derived) */
  /* worst-case contrast: white 4.56:1 AA, black 4.37:1 AA-large */
  --brand-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #e50914 0%, #468254 100%);
  /* hero — worst-case contrast: white 4.59:1 AA, black 4.24:1 AA-large; ink passes AA at the worst point */
  --brand-gradient-hero: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #a3655c 0%, #627565 100%);
  --brand-gradient-hero-ink: #ffffff;
  /* button — worst-case contrast: white 5.11:1 AA, black 3.09:1 AA-large */
  --brand-gradient-button: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #de0008 0%, #ba0000 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-hover: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #e91419 0%, #c90000 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-active: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #d20000 0%, #ab0000 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.
