Dark Sea Green to Lilac gradient
Dark Sea Green (#8fbc8f) into Lilac (#c8a2c8) — 179° 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 179° > 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, #8fbc8f 0%, #c8a2c8 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, #8fbc8f 0%, #c8a2c8 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, #8fbc8f 0%, #92bc8d 8.28%, #99ba87 16.03%, #a4b780 23.35%, #b2b379 30.32%, #c0ae76 37.03%, #cca979 43.56%, #d5a482 50%, #d9a090 56.44%, #da9e9f 62.97%, #d79ead 69.68%, #d29fb9 76.65%, #cda0c1 83.97%, #c9a2c6 91.72%, #c8a2c8 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: #aeb0ad; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 81.42% 88.45%, rgba(143, 188, 143, 0.897) 0%, rgba(143, 188, 143, 0) 55.79%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 55.4% 54.53%, rgba(200, 162, 200, 0.844) 0%, rgba(200, 162, 200, 0) 52.61%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 81.42% 88.45%, oklch(from #8fbc8f l c h / 0.897) 0%, rgb(from #8fbc8f r g b / 0) 55.79%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 55.4% 54.53%, oklch(from #c8a2c8 l c h / 0.8441) 0%, rgb(from #c8a2c8 r g b / 0) 52.61%);
Report
- white ink: worst 2.15:1 at 1% (fails AA); black ink: worst 9.33:1 at 67% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~25px bands at 1440px — add grain 48 (≈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.
