Colour to colour
Lime Green to Dark Orange gradient
Lime Green (#32cd32) into Dark Orange (#ff8c00) — 85° 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, #32cd32 0%, #ff8c00 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, #32cd32 0%, #ff8c00 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, #32cd32 0%, #3bcc32 8.28%, #4fca30 16.03%, #66c72e 23.35%, #7cc32c 30.32%, #92be29 37.03%, #a6b925 43.56%, #b9b221 50%, #c9ab1c 56.44%, #d8a417 62.97%, #e59d12 69.68%, #f0970b 76.65%, #f89105 83.97%, #fd8d01 91.72%, #ff8c00 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: #b9b221; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 82.99% 21.5%, rgba(50, 205, 50, 0.765) 0%, rgba(50, 205, 50, 0) 58.53%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 34.17% 84.1%, rgba(255, 140, 0, 0.874) 0%, rgba(255, 140, 0, 0) 57.52%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 82.99% 21.5%, oklch(from #32cd32 l c h / 0.7645) 0%, rgb(from #32cd32 r g b / 0) 58.53%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 34.17% 84.1%, oklch(from #ff8c00 l c h / 0.8737) 0%, rgb(from #ff8c00 r g b / 0) 57.52%);
Report
- white ink: worst 2.11:1 at 1% (fails AA); black ink: worst 8.99:1 at 96% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding medium: ~7px bands at 1440px — add grain 13 (≈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.
