Colour to colour
Mint Green to Plum gradient
Mint Green (#98ff98) into Plum (#dda0dd) — 178° 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 178° > 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, #98ff98 0%, #dda0dd 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, #98ff98 0%, #dda0dd 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, #98ff98 0%, #9ffd92 8.28%, #b1f883 16.03%, #c9ee6e 23.35%, #e3e259 30.32%, #f9d250 37.03%, #ffc25a 43.56%, #ffb77c 50%, #ffad92 56.44%, #ffa3a5 62.97%, #ff9fbb 69.68%, #f49fcb 76.65%, #e89fd5 83.97%, #e0a0db 91.72%, #dda0dd 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: #c3d2c0; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 29.98% 76.23%, rgba(152, 255, 152, 0.759) 0%, rgba(152, 255, 152, 0) 48.36%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 63.13% 51.36%, rgba(221, 160, 221, 0.878) 0%, rgba(221, 160, 221, 0) 52.39%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 29.98% 76.23%, oklch(from #98ff98 l c h / 0.7588) 0%, rgb(from #98ff98 r g b / 0) 48.36%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 63.13% 51.36%, oklch(from #dda0dd l c h / 0.8779) 0%, rgb(from #dda0dd r g b / 0) 52.39%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.23:1 at 0% (fails AA); black ink: worst 10.15:1 at 100% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~15px bands at 1440px — add grain 31 (≈2% soft-light noise) or shorten the ramp.
- 26/64 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.
