How to use the gradient palette

  1. Choose the start and end colors.
  2. Set the number of steps (3–20).
  3. Pick a blend mode: OKLab for perceptually even steps, RGB or HSL for classic blends.
  4. Copy the HEX codes or open the scale in the generator.

Which blend mode should I use?

OKLab gives steps that look evenly spaced and avoids gray, muddy midpoints. RGB matches what most older tools produce. HSL travels around the color wheel, which can create rainbow-like transitions between distant hues.
