Colour to colour
Rose Gold to Cadet Blue gradient
Rose Gold (#b76e79) into Cadet Blue (#5f9ea0) — 172° 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 172° > 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, #b76e79 0%, #5f9ea0 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, #b76e79 0%, #5f9ea0 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, #b76e79 0%, #b76e7c 8.28%, #b56f84 16.03%, #b1718f 23.35%, #ab749d 30.32%, #a179aa 37.03%, #947fb4 43.56%, #8686bb 50%, #778cbc 56.44%, #6b92b9 62.97%, #6297b3 69.68%, #5e9bac 76.65%, #5d9da6 83.97%, #5e9ea2 91.72%, #5f9ea0 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: #94888d; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 10.24% 31.99%, rgba(183, 110, 121, 0.866) 0%, rgba(183, 110, 121, 0) 52.34%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 60.11% 19.34%, rgba(95, 158, 160, 0.873) 0%, rgba(95, 158, 160, 0) 53.29%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 10.24% 31.99%, oklch(from #b76e79 l c h / 0.8655) 0%, rgb(from #b76e79 r g b / 0) 52.34%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 60.11% 19.34%, oklch(from #5f9ea0 l c h / 0.8728) 0%, rgb(from #5f9ea0 r g b / 0) 53.29%);
Report
- white ink: worst 3.05:1 at 98% (AA-large only); black ink: worst 5.51:1 at 2% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~16px bands at 1440px — add grain 34 (≈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.
