Tips

  • Subtle gradients work best for backgrounds.
  • Match your brand colors for consistency.
  • Test gradients on both light and dark content.

Troubleshooting
  • Gradient appears banded → Add more color stops for smoother transitions.
  • CSS not working → Make sure to use the full background property, not just background-color.
  • Colors look different → Check your monitor calibration and browser color management.

FAQ
What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?
Linear gradients transition along a straight line (with direction). Radial gradients radiate outward from a center point.
Can I use more than two colors?
Yes! Add as many color stops as you need. Complex gradients with 3-5 colors are common.
Will gradients work in all browsers?
Yes, CSS gradients are supported in all modern browsers. Very old browsers may need vendor prefixes.
How do I make a gradient transparent?
Use rgba() or hsla() color values with alpha channel, or use the transparent keyword.
Can I animate gradients?
CSS gradient animation is limited. Consider using background-position or multiple overlapping elements for animated effects.
