# Warp gradient

Gradients derived from Warp'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 colors: https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/warp-dev · Brand page: https://brandsweets.com/b/warp-dev
- Palette: primary #00c2ff, secondary #2a1eff, accents #3f6b3f

## Brand gradient

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #00c2ff 0%, #2a1eff 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#00c2ff] to-[#2a1eff]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.07:1 fail · black 2.73:1 fail · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.00c2ff-2a1eff?a=135

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink white (inkFor at the midpoint). L shifted −0.21 until the ink passes AA at the worst point (4.64:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #517a8e 0%, #131958 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#517a8e] to-[#131958]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.64:1 AA · black 1.31:1 fail · banding medium · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.517a8e-131958?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 7.98:1).

- CSS: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #2bcfff 0%, #00b5f1 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#2bcfff] to-[#00b5f1]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.83:1 fail · black 8.88:1 AA · banding high · ink #000000
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.2bcfff-00b5f1?a=180&in=oklch&hue=shorter
- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #5dd7ff 0%, #00bffc 100%)`
- Active: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #11c5ff 0%, #00abe7 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #c3f4ff 0%, #00c2ff 50%, #0088bd 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#c3f4ff] via-[#00c2ff] to-[#0088bd]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.19:1 fail · black 5.26:1 AA · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.c3f4ff-00c2ff-0088bd?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, #00c2ff 0%, #00cad2 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#00c2ff] to-[#00cad2]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.02:1 fail · black 10.13:1 AA · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.00c2ff-00cad2?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, #00c2ff 0%, #ff914d 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#00c2ff] to-[#ff914d]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.94:1 fail · black 9.40:1 AA · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.00c2ff-ff914d?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, #00c2ff 0%, #ff80c1 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#00c2ff] to-[#ff80c1]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.06:1 fail · black 9.11:1 AA · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.00c2ff-ff80c1?a=135

## CSS custom properties (brand.css)

```css
:root {
  /* Brand gradient (derived) */
  /* worst-case contrast: white 2.07:1, black 2.73:1 */
  --brand-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #00c2ff 0%, #2a1eff 100%);
  /* hero — worst-case contrast: white 4.64:1 AA, black 1.31:1; ink passes AA at the worst point */
  --brand-gradient-hero: linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #517a8e 0%, #131958 100%);
  --brand-gradient-hero-ink: #ffffff;
  /* button — worst-case contrast: white 1.83:1, black 8.88:1 AA */
  --brand-gradient-button: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #2bcfff 0%, #00b5f1 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-hover: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #5dd7ff 0%, #00bffc 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-active: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #11c5ff 0%, #00abe7 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.
