Types of CSS Gradients

Linear Gradients

Linear gradients transition colors in a straight line. You can control the direction with angles or keywords like to right.

Example:

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

Radial Gradients

Radial gradients radiate from the center (or specified point) outward. Perfect for circular or elliptical backgrounds.

Example:

background: radial-gradient(circle, #43cea2, #185a9d);

Conic Gradients

Conic gradients rotate around a center point, creating pie-like patterns. Useful for charts, visual effects, or modern UI.

Example:

background: conic-gradient(from 90deg, #f6d365, #fda085, #f6d365);

Repeating Gradients

Repeating gradients allow a pattern to repeat infinitely across a surface. Ideal for stripes or patterned backgrounds.

Example:

background: repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, #6a11cb, #2575fc 50px);
