Yellow & Pink Gradients

About yellow & pink gradients

Yellow and pink come from different sides of the colour wheel, so this is a contrast pairing rather than a blend: brightness and optimism against confidence and play. The contrast is the point — it is what makes these gradients stop the eye — but it has a cost: mixed in plain sRGB, the midpoint between two distant hues turns grey and muddy.

There are two fixes, both plain CSS. Add a third stop in a hue that sits between them, or let the browser mix in a perceptual colour space: linear-gradient(in oklch 135deg, #FACC15, #EC4899) keeps the middle bright in current browsers. The most common angle across these 14 gradients is 135°.
