Deep Sky Blue to Gold gradient
Deep Sky Blue (#00bfff) into Gold (#ffd700) — 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, #00bfff 0%, #ffd700 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, #00bfff 0%, #ffd700 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, #00bfff 0%, #16c0fd 8.28%, #32c2f7 16.03%, #4cc4ee 23.35%, #64c8e2 30.32%, #7bcbd3 37.03%, #91cec2 43.56%, #a7d1b0 50%, #bbd39c 56.44%, #cdd586 62.97%, #ddd66f 69.68%, #ebd755 76.65%, #f6d73a 83.97%, #fdd71b 91.72%, #ffd700 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: #a7d1b0; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 0.55% 96.99%, rgba(255, 215, 0, 0.733) 0%, rgba(255, 215, 0, 0) 52.51%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 43.9% 46.4%, rgba(0, 191, 255, 0.798) 0%, rgba(0, 191, 255, 0) 51.35%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 0.55% 96.99%, oklch(from #ffd700 l c h / 0.733) 0%, rgb(from #ffd700 r g b / 0) 52.51%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 43.9% 46.4%, oklch(from #00bfff l c h / 0.7978) 0%, rgb(from #00bfff r g b / 0) 51.35%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.40:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 9.89:1 at 0% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding medium: ~6px bands at 1440px — add grain 9 (≈1% 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.
