# Replit gradient

Gradients derived from Replit'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 0.039 < 0.15 between #f26207 and #ec4e02 — a 2-stop would read as a flat fill, so this is a tonal ramp of #f26207.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #ffb693 0%, #f26207 50%, #aa3100 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#ffb693] via-[#f26207] to-[#aa3100]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.70:1 fail · black 3.15:1 AA-large · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.ffb693-f26207-aa3100?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink white (inkFor at the midpoint). L shifted −0.28 until the ink passes AA at the worst point (4.65:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #896f63 0%, #663420 50%, #2a0404 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#896f63] via-[#663420] to-[#2a0404]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.65:1 AA · black 1.12:1 fail · banding high · ink #ffffff

## 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 −0.10 so white ink gets as close as the ±0.1 bound allows to AA on the surface and both states (worst 3.63:1). Ink is below AA (3.63:1 at the worst point) — use it for large text only, or pick a darker/lighter primary for buttons.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #dd4e00 0%, #bc3800 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#dd4e00] to-[#bc3800]`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #ffb693 0%, #f26207 50%, #aa3100 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#ffb693] via-[#f26207] to-[#aa3100]`

## Analogous

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

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #f26207 0%, #fe466d 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#f26207] to-[#fe466d]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 3.21:1 AA-large · black 6.31:1 AA · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.f26207-fe466d?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, #f26207 0%, #09a5cd 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#f26207] to-[#09a5cd]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.71:1 fail · black 6.53:1 AA · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.f26207-09a5cd?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, #f26207 0%, #0ab07d 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#f26207] to-[#0ab07d]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.78:1 fail · black 6.53:1 AA · banding medium

## 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.
