Preview gradients and run a color-stop contrast sanity check.
White · Stops
6.70:1
4.5:1+
Black · Stops
1.18:1
<3:1
Custom · Stops
6.70:1
4.5:1+
These ratios are the minimum across authored color stops only. Threshold labels show ratio bands, not WCAG conformance; final text must be checked against the rendered gradient behind the text.
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #0F172A 0%, #1E3A8A 50%, #1D4ED8 100%); color: #FFFFFF;
className="bg-[linear-gradient(135deg,_#0F172A_0%,_#1E3A8A_50%,_#1D4ED8_100%)] text-[#FFFFFF]"
Designs gradients for hero banners, CTA buttons, overlays, and illustration fills. The contrast cards report the lowest ratio against the explicit color stops only; they do not certify contrast across every interpolated point of the rendered gradient.
Start with a preset, switch between linear and radial, then move the stops while watching the stop-level contrast numbers. Use Copy CSS for implementation and Copy TW when you want a Tailwind-ready snippet.
Best for marketing pages, product headers, posters, and accent backgrounds where color harmony matters. The custom text color check compares only the explicit stops and is a quick sanity pass, not a WCAG conformance test.
Two stops is the practical minimum for a simple gradient. Stop-level checks can miss lower contrast in colors created between stops, so test the final rendered text over the actual gradient before making an accessibility claim.
