Colour to colour
Chartreuse to Violet gradient
Chartreuse (#7fff00) into Violet (#ee82ee) — 169° 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 oklch: ΔH 169° > 140° — interpolating in oklch (shorter hue) keeps the midpoint saturated.
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, #7fff00 0%, #ee82ee 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, #7fff00 0%, #ee82ee 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 oklch shorter hue, #7fff00 0%, #8cfc00 8.28%, #adf300 16.03%, #d0e600 23.35%, #edd500 30.32%, #ffc300 37.03%, #ffb645 43.56%, #ffac70 50%, #ffa189 56.44%, #ff969e 62.97%, #ff8ab4 69.68%, #ff7dce 76.65%, #fd7ee0 83.97%, #f281eb 91.72%, #ee82ee 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: #c6caa8; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 96.57% 70.34%, rgba(127, 255, 0, 0.898) 0%, rgba(127, 255, 0, 0) 51.76%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 31.73% 11.85%, rgba(238, 130, 238, 0.756) 0%, rgba(238, 130, 238, 0) 47.02%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 96.57% 70.34%, oklch(from #7fff00 l c h / 0.8981) 0%, rgb(from #7fff00 r g b / 0) 51.76%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 31.73% 11.85%, oklch(from #ee82ee l c h / 0.7555) 0%, rgb(from #ee82ee r g b / 0) 47.02%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.30:1 at 1% (fails AA); black ink: worst 9.00:1 at 89% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding medium: ~6px bands at 1440px — add grain 11 (≈1% soft-light noise) or shorten the ramp.
- 55/64 samples left sRGB by more than 5% and were gamut-mapped (oklch shorter); expect slight hue drift there.

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.
