Notion Gradient is a dark and neutral 2-colour linear gradient that runs from near-black (#000000) to charcoal (#3D3D3D) at 135°. It is inspired by Notion’s brand colours, a reference point for tech interfaces. White text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 16.6:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AAA).
