Interpolation
Gradients interpolate in sRGB by default in most browsers—hue shifts can look muddy—consider `color-mix` or multiple stops for brand gradients.

CSS gradients interpolate colors across an axis or ellipse with color stops and optional angles. Use it for hero backgrounds, buttons, and mesh-lite effects without image assets.
How to use this calculator
- Open the tool: Choose linear or radial.
- Tune inputs: Add stops and adjust positions.
- Read the output: Copy CSS into your stylesheet or inline style.
Real-world examples
- Diagonal hero: 135deg with two brand blues—test text contrast on top.
- Radial spotlight: Use `circle at top` for faux lighting—watch banding on wide monitors.

FAQ
Conic gradients?
This overview targets linear/radial—conic uses a different syntax for pie-like sweeps.
Does this tool send my text to a server?
Calciverse runs in your browser; we do not store your inputs on our servers for these utilities. Anything that uses network APIs (for example DNS lookup) only sends what you explicitly request.
Why do results differ from another site?
Rounding, defaults, and implementation details (color spaces, tokenizers, DNS resolvers) can differ. Compare definitions, not just the headline number.
