CSS Data Type - <gradient>
The CSS data type <gradient> is a unique kind of <image> that demonstrates a progressive transition between two or more colors.
A gradient has no intrinsic dimensions, which means, it has neither a natural or preferred size, nor a preferred ratio. The size of the gradient will match with the size of the element it is applied to.
Possible values
The CSS data type <gradient> is defined using one of the following functions as values:
linear-gradient(): Progressive transition between two or more colors along a straight line. Generated with the linear-gradient() function.
radial-gradient(): Progressive transition between two or more colors from a center point (origin). Generated with the radial-gradient() function.
conic-gradient(): Progressive transition between two or more colors around a circle. Generated with the conic-gradient() function.
repeating-linear-gradient(): Linear gradient that gets repeated to fill the space. Generated with the repeating-linear-gradient() function.
repeating-radial-gradient(): Radial gradient that gets repeated to fill the space. Generated with the repeating-radial-gradient() function.
Syntax
<gradient> = <linear-gradient()> | <repeating-linear-gradient()> | <radial-gradient()> | <repeating-radial-gradient()>
CSS <gradient> - Linear gradient
The following example demonstrates the use of linear-gradient:
<html> <head> <style> div { height: 100px; width: 100px; } .basic-linear { background: linear-gradient(red, yellow, green, blue, pink); } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Basic linear gradient</h1> <div class="basic-linear"></div> </body> </html>
CSS <gradient> - Radial gradient
The following example demonstrates the use of radial-gradient:
<html> <head> <style> div { height: 100px; width: 100px; } .basic-radial { background: radial-gradient(red, yellow, green, blue, pink); } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Basic radial gradient</h1> <div class="basic-radial"></div> </body> </html>
CSS <gradient> - Conic gradient
The following example demonstrates the use of conic-gradient():
<html> <head> <style> div { height: 150px; width: 150px; } .basic-conic-gradient { background: conic-gradient(red, yellow); border-radius: 50%; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Basic Conic Gradient</h1> <div class="basic-conic-gradient"></div> </body> </html>
CSS <gradient> - Repeating linear gradient
The following example demonstrates the use of repeating-linear-gradient:
<html> <head> <style> div { height: 200px; width: 400px; } /* A repeating gradient tilted 60 degrees, with three color stops */ .repeat-linear { background-image: repeating-linear-gradient(60deg, red, yellow 7%, black 10%); } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Repeating linear gradient</h1> <div class="repeat-linear"></div> </body> </html>
CSS <gradient> - Repeating radial gradient
The following example demonstrates the use of repeating-radial-gradient:
<html> <head> <style> div { height: 200px; width: 400px; } .repeat-radial { background: repeating-radial-gradient( ellipse farthest-side at 20% 20%, red, black 5%, yellow 5%, blue 10% ); background: repeating-radial-gradient( ellipse farthest-side at 20% 20%, red 0 5%, yellow 5% 10% ); } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Repeating radial gradient</h1> <div class="repeat-radial"></div> </body> </html>
