Curated DarkBold

Dusk is a dark and bold 2-colour linear gradient that runs from charcoal (#2C3E50) to light red (#FD746C) at 135°. It suits dark-mode interfaces and footers and banners and attention-grabbing headers. White text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 5.4:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AA).
