Using gradients well

A subtle gradient adds depth without shouting — keep the two colours close in hue for a smooth, professional look, or contrasting for a bold hero. The angle sets the direction (135° is a popular diagonal). Copy the background line straight into your CSS. Use gradients sparingly, on heroes, buttons or cards, rather than everywhere, and always check text contrast on top of them.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the generated CSS?

Copy the background line and paste it into your element's CSS, e.g. on a div or button. The gradient renders instantly in any modern browser.

What angle should I use?

135° (a diagonal) is a popular, natural-looking default. 90° is left-to-right, 180° top-to-bottom — experiment with the slider to see the effect.

How do I keep text readable on a gradient?

Check contrast against the lighter and darker ends of the gradient. Use the colour contrast checker, and add a subtle overlay if needed.
