Sky Blue to Blush Pink gradient
Sky Blue (#87ceeb) into Blush Pink (#e8b4b8) — 148° 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 148° > 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, #87ceeb 0%, #e8b4b8 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%, #e8b4b8 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, #87ceeb 0%, #89cdec 8.28%, #8eccef 16.03%, #96c9f2 23.35%, #a1c6f5 30.32%, #aec1f5 37.03%, #bcbdf2 43.56%, #c9b9eb 50%, #d4b6e2 56.44%, #ddb4d8 62.97%, #e3b3ce 69.68%, #e6b3c5 76.65%, #e7b3be 83.97%, #e8b4b9 91.72%, #e8b4b8 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: #bec2d2; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 3.89% 24.78%, rgba(135, 206, 235, 0.861) 0%, rgba(135, 206, 235, 0) 48.47%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 92.65% 46.78%, rgba(232, 180, 184, 0.858) 0%, rgba(232, 180, 184, 0) 46.2%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 3.89% 24.78%, oklch(from #87ceeb l c h / 0.8606) 0%, rgb(from #87ceeb r g b / 0) 48.47%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 92.65% 46.78%, oklch(from #e8b4b8 l c h / 0.8583) 0%, rgb(from #e8b4b8 r g b / 0) 46.2%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.74:1 at 1% (fails AA); black ink: worst 11.55:1 at 76% (AA) → use black text.
- Banding high: ~15px bands at 1440px — add grain 31 (≈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.
