Gradient Best Practices
-
Subtle Gradients
Subtle gradients often look more professional than harsh color transitions. Try using colors with similar hues or saturation.
-
Multiple Color Stops
Use multiple color stops to create more complex and interesting gradients. Position them strategically for smooth transitions.
-
Consider Accessibility
Ensure text placed over gradients has sufficient contrast. Test your design with accessibility tools.
-
Browser Compatibility
For maximum compatibility, include vendor prefixes or use a CSS preprocessor that adds them automatically.
Popular Gradient Use Cases
Buttons
Gradients can make buttons more visually appealing and draw attention to important calls-to-action.
Headers
Gradient backgrounds can make headers more dynamic and create visual hierarchy.
Cards
Subtle gradients can add depth to cards without overwhelming the content.
