Gradient Builder
Create a 2–3 color gradient, copy CSS, and share it by URL.
background: linear-gradient(120deg, #3B82F6, #22C55E);Build gradients that still support content
A gradient can add direction and depth, but it should not make text, icons, or controls harder to read. This builder keeps the CSS visible so you can test and adjust stops before using the gradient in production.
Start with two colors that share a brand or mood relationship, then add a third stop only when it improves the transition.
Adjust the angle to match the layout direction, such as left-to-right for headers or diagonal for hero backgrounds.
Copy the CSS and test it behind real content before shipping.
If text sits on the gradient, add a solid overlay or choose a calmer pair of color stops.
FAQ
Are gradients good for accessibility?
They can be, but text contrast must be checked at the lightest and darkest areas where text appears.
Should I use two or three colors?
Two stops are easier to control. Add a third only when you need a smoother transition or a specific middle color.
Why share gradients by URL?
A share URL preserves the stops and angle, which is more reliable than describing a gradient in a message.
Can this CSS go directly into production?
Yes, but test it in the final layout and avoid placing small text directly on busy color transitions.
