Medium Violet Red to Forest Green gradient
Medium Violet Red (#c71585) into Forest Green (#228b22) — 153° 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 153° > 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, #c71585 0%, #228b22 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, #c71585 0%, #228b22 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, #c71585 0%, #c81480 8.28%, #cc1172 16.03%, #d0115b 23.35%, #d21a3b 30.32%, #d02a00 37.03%, #bd4a00 43.56%, #aa5e00 50%, #996900 56.44%, #887300 62.97%, #767b00 69.68%, #5f8200 76.65%, #438800 83.97%, #2d8a18 91.72%, #228b22 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: #8f695e; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 7.83% 30.4%, rgba(199, 21, 133, 0.848) 0%, rgba(199, 21, 133, 0) 45.9%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 58.09% 7.8%, rgba(34, 139, 34, 0.752) 0%, rgba(34, 139, 34, 0) 51.63%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 7.83% 30.4%, oklch(from #c71585 l c h / 0.8478) 0%, rgb(from #c71585 r g b / 0) 45.9%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 58.09% 7.8%, oklch(from #228b22 l c h / 0.7517) 0%, rgb(from #228b22 r g b / 0) 51.63%);
Report
- white ink: worst 4.37:1 at 99% (AA-large only); black ink: worst 3.87:1 at 1% (AA-large only) → use white text.
- Body text fails AA everywhere on this gradient; large text (≥24px / 19px bold) is fine. Add a scrim or lower the chroma for body copy.
- Banding high: ~9px bands at 1440px — add grain 18 (≈2% soft-light noise) or shorten the ramp.
- 20/64 samples left sRGB by more than 5% and were gamut-mapped (oklch shorter); expect slight hue drift there.
