Colour to colour
Lavender to Blush Pink gradient
Lavender (#e6e6fa) into Blush Pink (#e8b4b8) — 87° 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, #e6e6fa 0%, #e8b4b8 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, #e6e6fa 0%, #e8b4b8 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, #e6e6fa 0%, #e6e5f9 8.28%, #e6e3f6 16.03%, #e7e0f2 23.35%, #e7dced 30.32%, #e7d8e7 37.03%, #e8d2e0 43.56%, #e8cdd9 50%, #e8c8d2 56.44%, #e8c3cb 62.97%, #e8bec5 69.68%, #e8bac0 76.65%, #e8b7bc 83.97%, #e8b5b9 91.72%, #e8b4b8 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: #e8cdd9; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 95.4% 20.26%, rgba(232, 180, 184, 0.745) 0%, rgba(232, 180, 184, 0) 47.4%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 9.1% 77.23%, rgba(230, 230, 250, 0.796) 0%, rgba(230, 230, 250, 0) 51.53%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 95.4% 20.26%, oklch(from #e8b4b8 l c h / 0.7445) 0%, rgb(from #e8b4b8 r g b / 0) 47.4%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 9.1% 77.23%, oklch(from #e6e6fa l c h / 0.7955) 0%, rgb(from #e6e6fa r g b / 0) 51.53%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.23:1 at 0% (fails AA); black ink: worst 11.65:1 at 100% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~22px bands at 1440px — add grain 43 (≈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.
