Burlywood to Terracotta gradient
Burlywood (#deb887) into Terracotta (#e2725b) — 40° apart on the OKLCH hue wheel. Below: the same two stops interpolated in OKLab and in OKLCH, side by side, because the difference is real and most generators never let you see it; then an eased version and a mesh, each with the worst-case contrast for white and black text. The engine's own pick for this pair is oklab — both colours are in the palette and the hue gap is small enough that the straight line stays clean.
OKLab and OKLCH, side by side
OKLab
Open in maker →A straight line through the a/b plane: the two hues meet halfway and desaturate a little at the midpoint. The safe default — it is what CSS and Tailwind default to.
linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #deb887 0%, #e2725b 100%)
OKLCH (shorter hue)
Open in maker →Chroma and hue interpolate separately, so the midpoint keeps its saturation and the hue travels the short way round the wheel — richer, and it can pass through hues neither colour has.
linear-gradient(135deg in oklch shorter hue, #deb887 0%, #e2725b 100%)
And the sRGB line most tools draw, for comparison — the number is the chroma that survives at the dullest point.
Eased and mesh
Eased (soft)
Open in maker →A cubic-bezier(.4, 0, .6, 1) mix ratio baked into 15 stops: the transition lingers on each colour and moves faster through the middle, which is what makes a gradient read as designed rather than default.
linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #deb887 0%, #deb786 8.28%, #dfb485 16.03%, #dfb082 23.35%, #e0ab7e 30.32%, #e1a47a 37.03%, #e19d76 43.56%, #e29671 50%, #e28f6c 56.44%, #e28768 62.97%, #e28164 69.68%, #e27b60 76.65%, #e2765d 83.97%, #e2735c 91.72%, #e2725b 100%)
Mesh
Open in maker →Both colours as stacked radials over a base, laid out by a seeded Poisson-disc sampler — the same seed gives the same mesh forever. Exports as CSS, SVG and PNG.
background-color: #e29671; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 84.61% 91.69%, rgba(226, 114, 91, 0.8) 0%, rgba(226, 114, 91, 0) 48.54%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 69.08% 26.68%, rgba(222, 184, 135, 0.847) 0%, rgba(222, 184, 135, 0) 50.12%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 84.61% 91.69%, oklch(from #e2725b l c h / 0.8002) 0%, rgb(from #e2725b r g b / 0) 48.54%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 69.08% 26.68%, oklch(from #deb887 l c h / 0.8468) 0%, rgb(from #deb887 r g b / 0) 50.12%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.86:1 at 0% (fails AA); black ink: worst 6.79:1 at 100% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~21px bands at 1440px — add grain 41 (≈3% soft-light noise) or shorten the ramp.

Point any MCP client at the shared gradients endpoint and your agent gets the same engine as this page — make_gradient returns CSS with the interpolation space, Tailwind v4, SVG, a PNG URL, a DTCG token and the contrast report in one call; brand_gradients derives the whole contact sheet from a brand or a palette. Read-only, no key. Every gradient is a /gradients/new/… link: open it, refine, paste it back.
