Colour to colour
Lime Green to Violet gradient
Lime Green (#32cd32) into Violet (#ee82ee) — 176° 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 176° > 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, #32cd32 0%, #ee82ee 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%, #ee82ee 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, #32cd32 0%, #47cc22 8.28%, #6dc700 16.03%, #97be00 23.35%, #b9b300 30.32%, #d5a700 37.03%, #ef9800 43.56%, #ff8400 50%, #ff805a 56.44%, #ff7d85 62.97%, #ff78a7 69.68%, #ff77c6 76.65%, #fa7cdc 83.97%, #f180ea 91.72%, #ee82ee 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: #abb1a2; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 10.88% 90.25%, rgba(50, 205, 50, 0.725) 0%, rgba(50, 205, 50, 0) 45.19%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 64.62% 76.43%, rgba(238, 130, 238, 0.713) 0%, rgba(238, 130, 238, 0) 55.32%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 10.88% 90.25%, oklch(from #32cd32 l c h / 0.7249) 0%, rgb(from #32cd32 r g b / 0) 45.19%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 64.62% 76.43%, oklch(from #ee82ee l c h / 0.7125) 0%, rgb(from #ee82ee r g b / 0) 55.32%);
Report
- white ink: worst 2.12:1 at 1% (fails AA); black ink: worst 8.46:1 at 82% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding medium: ~8px bands at 1440px — add grain 15 (≈2% soft-light noise) or shorten the ramp.
- 50/64 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.
