Day of the Dead is a warm and bold 3-colour linear gradient that runs from pink (#F72585) through orange (#FF9E00) to purple (#7209B7) at 120°. It suits hero sections and call-to-action buttons and banners and attention-grabbing headers. Black text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 4.6:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AA).
