# Dark gradients

Looking for a dark gradient? These 29 are the corpus entries whose stops actually read that way — every stop at or below L 0.5 — dark-mode heroes; check the white-ink verdict — tagged by measuring the stops in OKLCH, not by name. Every one renders in OKLab, ships its CSS and Tailwind v4, and carries the contrast verdict for both inks.

## Gradient maker

Every maker URL is the gradient's state: `/gradients/new/v1.<hex>-<hex>[_pos]?a=135&in=oklch&hue=shorter&e=soft&g=8`. Hand one to a human, let them refine, and read the link they return.

## Connect an agent

Point any MCP client at the BrandSweets gradients endpoint for the same engine and corpus:

- Endpoint: https://mcp.brandsweets.com/gradients/mcp
- Tools: `make_gradient` (2–5 colours → CSS with the interpolation space, Tailwind v4, SVG, PNG URL, DTCG token + the contrast/banding/gamut report), `brand_gradients` (brand slug or palette → brand gradient, hero, button, variants).
- Resource: `gradients://corpus` — the whole bundled corpus as JSON.
