Nintendo Gradient is a warm and bold 2-colour linear gradient that runs from red (#E4000F) to red (#B0000C) at 135°. It is inspired by Nintendo’s brand colours, a reference point for media interfaces. White text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 6.0:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AA).
