Colour to colour
Hot Pink to Medium Aquamarine gradient
Hot Pink (#ff69b4) into Medium Aquamarine (#66cdaa) — 177° 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 177° > 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, #ff69b4 0%, #66cdaa 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, #ff69b4 0%, #66cdaa 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, #ff69b4 0%, #ff69ae 8.28%, #ff6a9f 16.03%, #ff6e87 23.35%, #ff766a 30.32%, #ff8248 37.03%, #f59223 43.56%, #e0a20e 50%, #c7b12d 56.44%, #acbd50 62.97%, #92c56f 69.68%, #7dca88 76.65%, #6fcc9b 83.97%, #68cda6 91.72%, #66cdaa 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: #c7a4af; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 61.41% 76.95%, rgba(255, 105, 180, 0.795) 0%, rgba(255, 105, 180, 0) 46.25%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 47.51% 44.68%, rgba(102, 205, 170, 0.74) 0%, rgba(102, 205, 170, 0) 48.34%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 61.41% 76.95%, oklch(from #ff69b4 l c h / 0.7945) 0%, rgb(from #ff69b4 r g b / 0) 46.25%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 47.51% 44.68%, oklch(from #66cdaa l c h / 0.7403) 0%, rgb(from #66cdaa r g b / 0) 48.34%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.93:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 7.79:1 at 8% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~9px bands at 1440px — add grain 19 (≈2% soft-light noise) or shorten the ramp.
- 13/64 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.
