CSS gradients let you display smooth transitions between two or more colors. Learn how to create various types of gradients for modern web design.

Types of Gradients

  • Linear Gradients - Colors flow in a straight line
  • Radial Gradients - Colors emanate from a center point
  • Conic Gradients - Colors rotate around a center point
