Light Sky Blue to Champagne gradient
Light Sky Blue (#87cefa) into Champagne (#f7e7ce) — 158° 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 158° > 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, #87cefa 0%, #f7e7ce 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, #87cefa 0%, #f7e7ce 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, #87cefa 0%, #86cff9 8.28%, #84d2f5 16.03%, #83d7ef 23.35%, #87dce6 30.32%, #91e0db 37.03%, #a0e3d0 43.56%, #b3e4c6 50%, #c6e5c0 56.44%, #d6e5bf 62.97%, #e3e5c1 69.68%, #ece6c5 76.65%, #f3e6c9 83.97%, #f6e7cd 91.72%, #f7e7ce 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: #c2dce6; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 85.43% 1.84%, rgba(135, 206, 250, 0.893) 0%, rgba(135, 206, 250, 0) 48.72%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 27.89% 87.48%, rgba(247, 231, 206, 0.873) 0%, rgba(247, 231, 206, 0) 52.77%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 85.43% 1.84%, oklch(from #87cefa l c h / 0.893) 0%, rgb(from #87cefa r g b / 0) 48.72%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 27.89% 87.48%, oklch(from #f7e7ce l c h / 0.8727) 0%, rgb(from #f7e7ce r g b / 0) 52.77%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.22:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 12.24:1 at 0% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~13px bands at 1440px — add grain 27 (≈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.
