Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between linear and radial?
Linear sweeps colors along a line at a given angle (0° = bottom-to-top, 90° = left-to-right, 180° = top-to-bottom). Radial radiates outward from a center point, like a sunburst.
How many stops can I add?
Up to 6. More stops = more gradient transitions but also a busier look. 2-3 stops cover most design needs.
Why does my gradient look banded?
Browser limitations — banding shows up when colors are too close or the gradient covers a small area. Add intermediate stops at the same hue with slight lightness shifts to smooth it out.
