CSS Color Gradient Studio & Designer

Gradients add depth to hero sections, buttons and cards, but writing the CSS by hand and guessing colours is slow. The Gradient Studio lets you build linear and radial gradients visually, try random colour combinations for inspiration and copy a ready-to-paste background rule.

How to use it

1. Choose linear or radial.
2. Pick the colours, or randomise until you find a combination you like.
3. Set the direction or angle for linear gradients, or the shape for radial ones.
4. Copy the generated CSS.

Example output

background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667EEA 0%, #764BA2 100%); produces the popular blue-to-purple diagonal used on many landing pages. A radial version, radial-gradient(circle at top left, #FDE68A, #F97316), creates a warm glow from one corner.

Design tips

• Stay close on the colour wheel. Analogous colours (neighbours, such as blue and purple) blend smoothly. Complementary pairs, such as red and green, often pass through a grey or muddy middle.
• Avoid the grey dead zone by adding a middle stop with a vivid colour.
• Check text contrast. Text must remain readable over the lightest part of the gradient.
• Add a fallback solid background-color before the gradient for very old browsers and for email clients.

For conic gradients and precise control of individual colour stop positions, use the CSS gradient generator.
