Design Tips for Gradients & Shadows

  • Smooth Shadows: Use a large blur radius (30px+) and low opacity (under 0.2) for a modern, soft elevation look.
  • Harmonious Gradients: Choose colors that are close to each other on the color wheel (Analogous) for a natural feel.
  • Layering: In modern CSS, box shadows are often layered. Use our generator to find the primary shadow values for your design system.
  • Contrast: Ensure your gradient text has enough contrast against its background for accessibility (WCAG standards).
