Huescape Gradient Library

A gradient is a palette in motion. Two colors share a surface and the transition between them does the work: it suggests light, depth, heat or time of day in a way a flat color cannot. The gradients in this library are two-stop ramps stored with an angle, so each one can be reproduced exactly rather than approximated.

This view lists them with the most vibrant and corporate ramps first, and opens them by the families their stops belong to, which is the fastest way to find a ramp that matches a palette you already have. Every gradient page carries its stops, its angle, ready-to-copy CSS and the palettes whose colors also appear in it.

Gradients are grouped by the families their stops belong to, so a blue ramp and a blue palette sit in the same neighborhood of the library. Multi-family ramps have their own hubs, since a gradient that travels from blue through green into yellow behaves very differently from one that stays in a single family. Every gradient can be copied as CSS, opened in the Color Engine as a palette, or followed into the palettes whose colors it shares.


Frequently Asked Questions

How many stops should a gradient have?
Two is cleanest and fastest to render; three or more is where banding and muddy midpoints start to appear.
What angle should I use?
135 degrees reads naturally as light falling across a surface; 90 degrees reads as a hard vertical split.
Can a gradient be copied as CSS?
Yes, every gradient here is given with its CSS so it can be pasted directly into a stylesheet.
