What is the simplest CSS gradient?

The simplest gradient is a two-stop linear gradient: background: linear-gradient(to right, #color1, #color2). Two colours, one direction, no extra configuration needed.

Do I need to specify percentage positions for a two-colour gradient?

No. Without positions, CSS distributes stops evenly. background: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue) works the same as background: linear-gradient(to right, red 0%, blue 100%).

Can I use named colours instead of hex values?

Yes. You can use any valid CSS colour value: named colours (red, blue), hex (#ff0000), RGB, HSL, or oklch.

How do I create a diagonal two-colour gradient?

Use an angle like 45deg or 135deg: background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea, #764ba2).

What is the difference between linear-gradient and gradient shorthands in newer CSS?

CSS now supports oklch colour space gradients and color-mix() for smoother interpolation. For standard web use, the traditional linear-gradient() syntax shown here works in all browsers.
