Lilac to Beige gradient
Lilac (#c8a2c8) into Beige (#f5f5dc) — 141° 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 141° > 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, #c8a2c8 0%, #f5f5dc 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, #c8a2c8 0%, #f5f5dc 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, #c8a2c8 0%, #caa3c7 8.28%, #cfa5c6 16.03%, #d6a9c3 23.35%, #deaec0 30.32%, #e6b5bd 37.03%, #ecbdbb 43.56%, #f0c7bb 50%, #f3d1bd 56.44%, #f4dac2 62.97%, #f4e3c9 69.68%, #f4ebd0 76.65%, #f5f0d6 83.97%, #f5f4da 91.72%, #f5f5dc 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: #dfcbd3; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 17.15% 94.78%, rgba(200, 162, 200, 0.722) 0%, rgba(200, 162, 200, 0) 53.5%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 18.83% 30.22%, rgba(245, 245, 220, 0.775) 0%, rgba(245, 245, 220, 0) 57.88%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 17.15% 94.78%, oklch(from #c8a2c8 l c h / 0.7221) 0%, rgb(from #c8a2c8 r g b / 0) 53.5%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 18.83% 30.22%, oklch(from #f5f5dc l c h / 0.7747) 0%, rgb(from #f5f5dc r g b / 0) 57.88%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.11:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 9.46:1 at 0% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding medium: ~17px bands at 1440px — add grain 35 (≈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.
