Colour to colour
Seafoam to Plum gradient
Seafoam (#93e9be) into Plum (#dda0dd) — 165° 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 165° > 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, #93e9be 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, #93e9be 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, #93e9be 0%, #90e9c1 8.28%, #87e8c8 16.03%, #7be7d4 23.35%, #71e4e2 30.32%, #6fdef1 37.03%, #77d7fd 43.56%, #89ceff 50%, #9dc3ff 56.44%, #b0b9ff 62.97%, #c1b1fc 69.68%, #cea9f2 76.65%, #d6a4e7 83.97%, #dba1e0 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: #c0c7cf; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 4.49% 98.9%, rgba(221, 160, 221, 0.733) 0%, rgba(221, 160, 221, 0) 51.06%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 89.89% 33.37%, rgba(147, 233, 190, 0.755) 0%, rgba(147, 233, 190, 0) 46.33%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 4.49% 98.9%, oklch(from #dda0dd l c h / 0.7326) 0%, rgb(from #dda0dd r g b / 0) 51.06%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 89.89% 33.37%, oklch(from #93e9be l c h / 0.7549) 0%, rgb(from #93e9be r g b / 0) 46.33%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.43:1 at 0% (fails AA); black ink: worst 10.13:1 at 100% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~19px bands at 1440px — add grain 39 (≈3% soft-light noise) or shorten the ramp.
- 14/64 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.
