Gradients that look professional

The smoothest gradients pick colors that are neighbours on the color wheel with a similar lightness — try #667eea → #764ba2 (the classic “hero section” blend) or a sunset like #ff9966 → #ff5e62. For text and buttons, 135° (top-left to bottom-right) is the most natural reading direction. Set the gradient as a background, not background-color, in your CSS.

Frequently asked questions

What does the angle mean exactly?

0° points bottom-to-top, 90° left-to-right, 180° top-to-bottom. Think of it as a compass needle showing where the gradient is heading.

Do gradients work everywhere?

Linear gradients are supported by every browser released in the past decade. For ancient browsers, keep a solid fallback color declared before the gradient.
