# Vimeo gradient

Gradients derived from Vimeo'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/vimeo-com
- Brand colors: https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/vimeo-com · Brand page: https://brandsweets.com/b/vimeo-com
- Palette: primary #14d3fb, secondary #23313b

## Brand gradient

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #14d3fb 0%, #23313b 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#14d3fb] to-[#23313b]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.79:1 fail · black 1.57:1 fail · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.14d3fb-23313b?a=135

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink white (inkFor at the midpoint). L shifted −0.25 until the ink passes AA at the worst point (4.63:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #507b89 0%, #010203 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#507b89] to-[#010203]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.63:1 AA · black 1.01:1 fail · banding medium · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.507b89-010203?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. Black ink passes AA on the surface and both states (worst 9.30:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #34e0ff 0%, #00c6ed 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#34e0ff] to-[#00c6ed]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.58:1 fail · black 10.30:1 AA · banding high · ink #000000
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.34e0ff-00c6ed?a=180&in=oklch&hue=shorter
- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #5ee9ff 0%, #04d0f8 100%)`
- Active: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #1ed6fe 0%, #00bce3 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #d6ffff 0%, #14d3fb 50%, #0098bb 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#d6ffff] via-[#14d3fb] to-[#0098bb]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.07:1 fail · black 6.21:1 AA · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.d6ffff-14d3fb-0098bb?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, #14d3fb 0%, #14dacf 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#14d3fb] to-[#14dacf]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.75:1 fail · black 11.70:1 AA · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.14d3fb-14dacf?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, #14d3fb 0%, #fea487 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#14d3fb] to-[#fea487]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.75:1 fail · black 10.86:1 AA · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.14d3fb-fea487?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, #14d3fb 0%, #fe94e0 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#14d3fb] to-[#fe94e0]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.78:1 fail · black 10.51:1 AA · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.14d3fb-fe94e0?a=135

## CSS custom properties (brand.css)

```css
:root {
  /* Brand gradient (derived) */
  /* worst-case contrast: white 1.79:1, black 1.57:1 */
  --brand-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #14d3fb 0%, #23313b 100%);
  /* hero — worst-case contrast: white 4.63:1 AA, black 1.01:1; ink passes AA at the worst point */
  --brand-gradient-hero: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #507b89 0%, #010203 100%);
  --brand-gradient-hero-ink: #ffffff;
  /* button — worst-case contrast: white 1.58:1, black 10.30:1 AA */
  --brand-gradient-button: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #34e0ff 0%, #00c6ed 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-hover: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #5ee9ff 0%, #04d0f8 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-active: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #1ed6fe 0%, #00bce3 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-ink: #000000;
}
```

## 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.
