FAQ
How is the color palette generated?
By linearly interpolating the RGB values between your start and end colors across the number of steps you choose, producing an evenly spaced set of swatches.
Can I use the output directly in CSS?
Yes - the gradient line (background: linear-gradient(...)) is ready to paste into a stylesheet, and each swatch hex code can be used individually as solid colors.
What is the angle setting for?
It controls the direction of the CSS linear-gradient, in degrees - 0deg points upward, 90deg points right, and 180deg points downward, matching standard CSS gradient angle conventions.
How many palette steps can I generate?
Choose 5, 7, or 9 evenly spaced steps between your start and end colors.
