Key Terms Explained

Contrast ratio
The luminance relationship between text and background. WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 for body text.
HSL
Hue, Saturation, Lightness — a colour model that makes generating tints and shades far easier than hex.
Design token
A named value (colour, radius, spacing) shared between design and code so both stay in sync.
Elevation
The perceived height of a surface, usually expressed through layered box-shadows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CSS from CSS Gradient Generator production-ready?›

Yes — output is plain, standards-compliant CSS with no vendor lock-in, ready for a stylesheet, a Tailwind config or a design-tokens JSON file.

Can I use CSS Gradient Generator for commercial or client work?›

Yes. Output from this design tools tool is yours to use commercially, with no attribution requirement and no licence to buy.

Does CSS Gradient Generator check colour contrast?›

Preview your values on both light and dark surfaces before shipping; aim for WCAG AA (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text).

What should I do if CSS Gradient Generator gives an unexpected result?›

Re-check your input formatting first, then reload the page to clear any stale state. If it persists, send us the input through the suggestion form and we'll fix it.

Can I save my values as design tokens?›

Copy the output as CSS custom properties and paste it into your token file — the naming stays consistent so a design system can consume it directly.

Are there related design tools tools I should use alongside it?›

Yes — the related-tools panel on this page links the utilities most people open right before or after CSS Gradient Generator, so you can chain them into one workflow.

Will this css gradient look identical in every browser?›

Modern Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge render these properties identically. Very old browsers may ignore newer colour spaces and fall back to the nearest sRGB value.
