6 gradientsAbout dark gradients
A flat black background is easy; a dark background with depth is not. These keep their lightness low while still moving through hue, which is what stops a dark hero from looking like an unstyled div and what makes an overlay feel deliberate.
Dark gradients are the safest choice behind white text, since the contrast ratio holds across the whole sweep rather than only at one end. They are also the natural pair for a neon accent — the dark ground is what gives the accent its charge.
