How CSS gradients work

Linear vs radial

A linear gradient blends colors along a straight line whose direction you set with an angle (0deg = upward, 90deg = rightward). A radial gradient blends outward from a center point in concentric rings — good for spotlights and soft glows.

Color stops

Each stop is a color plus an optional position (0%100%). Two stops give a clean fade; three or more let you build bands and rainbows. Evenly spaced stops are smoothest; clustering two stops creates a hard edge.
