CSS Gradients - Detailed Overview

Introduction to Gradients

CSS gradients are a way to create smooth transitions between colors. Gradients can be used as background images for elements. There are several types of gradients in CSS:

• Linear Gradients
• Radial Gradients
• Conic Gradients

Linear Gradients

Linear gradients transition from one color to another along a straight line. You can control the direction and colors used.

background: linear-gradient(to right, #ff7e5f, #feb47b);

Radial Gradients

Radial gradients transition from one color to another in a circular pattern. You can adjust the shape and size of the gradient.

background: radial-gradient(circle, #ff7e5f, #feb47b);

Conic Gradients

Conic gradients transition around a central point, creating a circular color pattern. You can control the angle and colors used.

background: conic-gradient(from 0deg, #ff7e5f, #feb47b);
