What is a CSS Gradient?

CSS gradients let you display smooth transitions between two or more colors. They are generated by the browser, so they look sharp at any resolution and scale perfectly. Gradients reduce page load time compared to gradient images.

Linear vs Radial vs Conic

Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line at a specified angle. Radial gradients radiate from a center point outward. Conic gradients transition colors around a center point, like a color wheel.

Tips for Beautiful Gradients

Use colors that are close on the color wheel for smooth transitions. Add a middle stop to prevent muddy colors. Keep it to 2-3 stops for clean results.
