# Webflow gradient

Gradients derived from Webflow'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

ΔH 155° > 140° — interpolating in oklch (shorter hue) keeps the midpoint saturated.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #146cf4 0%, #ffa666 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#146cf4] to-[#ffa666]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.93:1 fail · black 4.48:1 AA-large · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.146cf4-ffa666?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## Hero background

Chroma ×0.35 so it can carry text; ink black (inkFor at the midpoint). Passes AA for that ink at the worst point (4.63:1) without adjusting L.

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #5c77a4 0%, #d6b7a2 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#5c77a4] to-[#d6b7a2]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 1.88:1 fail · black 4.63:1 AA · banding medium · ink #000000
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.5c77a4-d6b7a2?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter

## 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 gets as close as the ±0.1 bound allows to AA on the surface and both states (worst 4.50:1). Ink is below AA (4.50:1 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, #0965ed 0%, #004bd1 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-b/oklch from-[#0965ed] to-[#004bd1]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 5.13:1 AA · black 2.93:1 fail · banding high · ink #ffffff
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.0965ed-004bd1?a=180&in=oklch&hue=shorter
- Hover: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #196ff8 0%, #0055db 100%)`
- Active: `linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #005ce2 0%, #0040c7 100%)`

## Tonal ramp

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #73acff 0%, #146cf4 50%, #002eb6 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#73acff] via-[#146cf4] to-[#002eb6]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 2.31:1 fail · black 2.07:1 fail · banding high

## Analogous

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

- CSS: `linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #146cf4 0%, #1981a9 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#146cf4] to-[#1981a9]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.40:1 AA-large · black 4.47:1 AA-large · banding high
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.146cf4-1981a9?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, #146cf4 0%, #986e16 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklch from-[#146cf4] to-[#986e16]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.59:1 AA · black 4.21:1 AA-large · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.146cf4-986e16?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, #146cf4 0%, #d81e3e 100%)`
- Tailwind: `bg-linear-to-br/oklab from-[#146cf4] to-[#d81e3e]`
- Contrast (worst point): white 4.66:1 AA · black 4.17:1 AA-large · banding medium
- Maker: https://brandsweets.com/gradients/new/v1.146cf4-d81e3e?a=135

## CSS custom properties (brand.css)

```css
:root {
  /* Brand gradient (derived) */

  --brand-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #146cf4 0%, #ffa666 100%);
  /* hero — worst-case contrast: white 1.88:1, black 4.63:1 AA; ink passes AA at the worst point */
  --brand-gradient-hero: linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #5c77a4 0%, #d6b7a2 100%);
  --brand-gradient-hero-ink: #000000;
  /* button — worst-case contrast: white 5.13:1 AA, black 2.93:1 */
  --brand-gradient-button: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #0965ed 0%, #004bd1 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-hover: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #196ff8 0%, #0055db 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-active: linear-gradient(180deg in oklch shorter hue, #005ce2 0%, #0040c7 100%);
  --brand-gradient-button-ink: #ffffff;
  /* button ink: 4.5:1 — below AA */
}

## 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.
