About this tool

What Gradient Maker does

A concise, practical tool for generating CSS-compatible color palettes through numerical input fields rather than visual color wheels. The interface focuses on precise numeric control rather than visual manipulation, making it suitable for developers who need exact color values for web projects rather than interactive color picking. The layout separates color model inputs (hex, HSL, RGB) from control mechanisms, creating a clear workflow for adjusting specific color properties.
