Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CSS gradient?
A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors, created using CSS functions like linear-gradient(), radial-gradient(), or conic-gradient(). They're used as backgrounds, borders, text effects, and more without needing images.
What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?
A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line (any angle). A radial gradient radiates colors outward from a center point in a circular or elliptical pattern. Conic gradients rotate colors around a center point.
What is a mesh gradient?
A mesh gradient uses multiple overlapping radial gradients to create complex, organic-looking color blends. They're popular in modern UI design and can be created in CSS using layered gradient backgrounds.
