Colour to colour
Royal Blue to Medium Sea Green gradient
Royal Blue (#4169e1) into Medium Sea Green (#3cb371) — 111° 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, #4169e1 0%, #3cb371 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, #4169e1 0%, #3cb371 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, #4169e1 0%, #416be0 8.28%, #3f6fdc 16.03%, #3d75d6 23.35%, #3b7cce 30.32%, #3984c5 37.03%, #378cbb 43.56%, #3693b0 50%, #369ba4 56.44%, #37a198 62.97%, #38a78d 69.68%, #39ac82 76.65%, #3bb079 83.97%, #3cb273 91.72%, #3cb371 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: #3693b0; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 99.29% 72.33%, rgba(65, 105, 225, 0.767) 0%, rgba(65, 105, 225, 0) 51.6%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 76.33% 32.35%, rgba(60, 179, 113, 0.735) 0%, rgba(60, 179, 113, 0) 45.53%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 99.29% 72.33%, oklch(from #4169e1 l c h / 0.7672) 0%, rgb(from #4169e1 r g b / 0) 51.6%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 76.33% 32.35%, oklch(from #3cb371 l c h / 0.7346) 0%, rgb(from #3cb371 r g b / 0) 45.53%);
Report
- white ink: worst 2.66:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 4.33:1 at 0% (AA-large only) → use black 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: ~13px bands at 1440px — add grain 27 (≈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.
