Brand BoldDark Tech

BeReal Gradient is a bold and dark 2-colour linear gradient that runs from near-black (#000000) to yellow (#FFFF00) at 135°. It is inspired by BeReal’s brand colours, a reference point for tech interfaces. Black text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 5.0:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AA).
