Brand Cool Food

Subway Gradient is a cool 2-colour linear gradient that runs from green (#009B48) to deep green (#007A38) at 135°. It is inspired by Subway’s brand colours, a reference point for food interfaces. Black text reads best on it, at a contrast ratio of 4.7:1 against the gradient’s average colour (AA). Check every point, not just the average →
