Best Practices for Modern CSS Gradients

1. Avoid the “Gray Dead Zone”

When interpolating between two opposing colors on the color wheel in standard sRGB space, the browser blends through murky muddy grays. Use 3 color stops or intermediate analogous shades to maintain vibrancy.

2. Contrast with Text Overlay

When placing typography on top of gradients, always verify that your text color satisfies the 4.5:1 WCAG contrast ratio across BOTH the lightest and darkest areas of the background.

3. Lightweight & Asset-Free

CSS gradients are rendered client-side on the GPU. Replacing 500KB background hero photos with subtle CSS mesh gradients dramatically improves Core Web Vitals (LCP) and mobile battery life.
