Dark Khaki to Fuchsia gradient
Dark Khaki (#bdb76b) into Fuchsia (#ff00ff) — 136° 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, #bdb76b 0%, #ff00ff 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, #bdb76b 0%, #ff00ff 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, #bdb76b 0%, #beb66e 8.28%, #c2b276 16.03%, #c7ad82 23.35%, #cda690 30.32%, #d49d9f 37.03%, #db93af 43.56%, #e286be 50%, #e878cd 56.44%, #ef69da 62.97%, #f457e6 69.68%, #f944f0 76.65%, #fc2ef8 83.97%, #fe14fd 91.72%, #ff00ff 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: #e286be; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 96.07% 91.25%, rgba(255, 0, 255, 0.852) 0%, rgba(255, 0, 255, 0) 46.69%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 41.12% 78.02%, rgba(189, 183, 107, 0.805) 0%, rgba(189, 183, 107, 0) 49.72%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 96.07% 91.25%, oklch(from #ff00ff l c h / 0.852) 0%, rgb(from #ff00ff r g b / 0) 46.69%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 41.12% 78.02%, oklch(from #bdb76b l c h / 0.8049) 0%, rgb(from #bdb76b r g b / 0) 49.72%);
Report
- white ink: worst 2.06:1 at 1% (fails AA); black ink: worst 6.70:1 at 100% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding medium: ~8px bands at 1440px — add grain 15 (≈2% 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.
