Sky Blue to Beige gradient
Sky Blue (#87ceeb) into Beige (#f5f5dc) — 119° 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, #87ceeb 0%, #f5f5dc 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, #87ceeb 0%, #f5f5dc 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, #87ceeb 0%, #89cfeb 8.28%, #8ed0ea 16.03%, #95d3ea 23.35%, #9ed6e9 30.32%, #a9dae8 37.03%, #b4dee6 43.56%, #c0e2e5 50%, #cbe6e3 56.44%, #d6eae1 62.97%, #e0eee0 69.68%, #e9f1de 76.65%, #eff3dd 83.97%, #f3f4dc 91.72%, #f5f5dc 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: #c0e2e5; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 63.22% 92%, rgba(135, 206, 235, 0.743) 0%, rgba(135, 206, 235, 0) 55.33%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 64.4% 20.87%, rgba(245, 245, 220, 0.723) 0%, rgba(245, 245, 220, 0) 53.57%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 63.22% 92%, oklch(from #87ceeb l c h / 0.7425) 0%, rgb(from #87ceeb r g b / 0) 55.33%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 64.4% 20.87%, oklch(from #f5f5dc l c h / 0.7228) 0%, rgb(from #f5f5dc r g b / 0) 53.57%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.11:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 12.06:1 at 0% (AA) → use black text.
- 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.
