Gradient
A smooth blend from one color to another.
Also called gradients, color gradient
A gradient blends between two or more colors across a space. Linear gradients run in a direction; radial gradients spread from a point.
Blending in a perceptual space such as OKLCH avoids the muddy gray middle you can get when mixing in plain RGB.
