Readwise Gradient is a warm and bold 2-colour linear gradient that runs from orange (#FF6B35) to red (#CF342C) at 135°. It is inspired by Readwise’s brand colours, a reference point for tech interfaces. Black text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 5.6:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AA).
