Colour to colour
Taupe to Blush Pink gradient
Taupe (#483c32) into Blush Pink (#e8b4b8) — 48° 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, #483c32 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, #483c32 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 oklab, #483c32 0%, #4a3e34 8.28%, #504239 16.03%, #594940 23.35%, #65524a 30.32%, #735d56 37.03%, #836963 43.56%, #947572 50%, #a58280 56.44%, #b68f8e 62.97%, #c69b9b 69.68%, #d4a5a7 76.65%, #deadb0 83.97%, #e5b2b6 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: #947572; background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 3.33% 94.29%, rgba(232, 180, 184, 0.762) 0%, rgba(232, 180, 184, 0) 52.92%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 53.21% 45.31%, rgba(72, 60, 50, 0.875) 0%, rgba(72, 60, 50, 0) 45.17%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 3.33% 94.29%, oklch(from #e8b4b8 l c h / 0.7624) 0%, rgb(from #e8b4b8 r g b / 0) 52.92%), radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at 53.21% 45.31%, oklch(from #483c32 l c h / 0.8745) 0%, rgb(from #483c32 r g b / 0) 45.17%);
Report
- white ink: worst 1.80:1 at 100% (fails AA); black ink: worst 1.97:1 at 0% (fails AA) → use black text.
- Neither ink passes AA at the worst point — treat as decorative or add a scrim (rgba(0,0,0,.35) typically lifts white ink past 4:1).
- Banding medium: ~9px bands at 1440px — add grain 18 (≈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.
