Dark Sea Green to Plum gradient
Dark Sea Green (#8fbc8f) into Plum (#dda0dd) — 178° 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 178° > 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%, #dda0dd 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%, #dda0dd 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%, #99bb87 16.03%, #a5b97e 23.35%, #b4b575 30.32%, #c4b06f 37.03%, #d5aa6f 43.56%, #e2a479 50%, #eb9f89 56.44%, #ee9b9d 62.97%, #ed9bb1 69.68%, #e99cc3 76.65%, #e39ed1 83.97%, #df9fda 91.72%, #dda0dd 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: #b9b0b7; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 8.25% 74.68%, rgba(221, 160, 221, 0.747) 0%, rgba(221, 160, 221, 0) 51.02%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 21.23% 35.02%, rgba(143, 188, 143, 0.74) 0%, rgba(143, 188, 143, 0) 58.3%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 8.25% 74.68%, oklch(from #dda0dd l c h / 0.7471) 0%, rgb(from #dda0dd r g b / 0) 51.02%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 21.23% 35.02%, oklch(from #8fbc8f l c h / 0.7395) 0%, rgb(from #8fbc8f r g b / 0) 58.3%);
Report
- white ink: worst 2.06:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 9.73:1 at 3% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~18px bands at 1440px — add grain 37 (≈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.
