Gradients are a design trend that involves transitioning between two or more colors. They can be linear (transitioning along a straight line) or radial (transitioning from a central point outwards). CSS Gradient provides tools and resources for both types.

Linear Gradients

Transitions in linear gradients occur along a straight line, defined by an angle or direction. You can create a linear gradient using the linear-gradient() function in CSS. The code can be as simple as specifying two colors, or more complex with multiple colors, angles, and specific color stop positions.

Radial Gradients

Radial gradients transition from a central point outwards. The radial-gradient() function in CSS is used to create them. You can adjust the size and shape of radial gradients, offering a lot of design flexibility. Although they are less used than linear gradients, they can add a unique touch to your designs.

The website also offers additional resources, such as:

• Color Shades: Curated selections of popular colors.
• Swatches: A collection of pre-made gradients with the necessary CSS code.
• Examples: Real-world examples of gradients used in design.
• Blog: Articles and tutorials on using gradients.
