Pro Tips
Use Subtle Gradients
For a professional look, often the most effective gradients are those between two closely related shades of the same color. This adds depth without being distracting.
Consider the Angle
The direction of a linear gradient can evoke different feelings. A top-to-bottom gradient often feels natural, like a sky, while an angled gradient can feel more dynamic and energetic.
Don't Forget Accessibility
If you plan to place text over your gradient, ensure there is enough contrast between the text color and all parts of the gradient to maintain readability.
