Mustard Yellow to Hot Pink gradient
Mustard Yellow (#ffdb58) into Hot Pink (#ff69b4) — 102° 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, #ffdb58 0%, #ff69b4 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, #ffdb58 0%, #ff69b4 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, #ffdb58 0%, #ffda5b 8.28%, #ffd661 16.03%, #ffcf6a 23.35%, #ffc775 30.32%, #ffbd7f 37.03%, #ffb389 43.56%, #ffa792 50%, #ff9b9b 56.44%, #ff8fa2 62.97%, #ff84a8 69.68%, #ff7aad 76.65%, #ff71b1 83.97%, #ff6bb3 91.72%, #ff69b4 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: #ffa792; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 6% 32.88%, rgba(255, 105, 180, 0.809) 0%, rgba(255, 105, 180, 0) 56.9%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 56.49% 96.15%, rgba(255, 219, 88, 0.811) 0%, rgba(255, 219, 88, 0) 51.76%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 6% 32.88%, oklch(from #ff69b4 l c h / 0.8092) 0%, rgb(from #ff69b4 r g b / 0) 56.9%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 56.49% 96.15%, oklch(from #ffdb58 l c h / 0.811) 0%, rgb(from #ffdb58 r g b / 0) 51.76%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.35:1 at 0% (fails AA); black ink: worst 7.93:1 at 100% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~13px bands at 1440px — add grain 26 (≈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.
