Use Cases

Website Hero Sections: Implement eye-catching background gradients for the main banner of a website, drawing visitor attention and establishing visual appeal. For instance, you might want a subtle gradient that fades into the background or a more pronounced gradient to highlight text and calls to action.
Button Styling: Enhance button designs with smooth gradient transitions, providing a modern and interactive feel. You can create gradients that subtly shift on hover, offering visual feedback to the user.
Card Backgrounds: Design visually distinct card components by applying unique gradient backgrounds. This helps to separate content sections and create a more engaging user experience, especially when displaying different categories of information.
Subtle Accents and Overlays: Introduce subtle gradients as overlays or accents to add depth and visual interest to various website elements. This can be used to create a sense of dimension or to subtly emphasize particular areas of the design.
Data Visualization: Use gradients to visually represent data ranges or categories in charts and graphs. A smooth color transition can effectively communicate quantitative differences.
