Plain HTML and CSS with no dependencies. Copy a single file, or choose "Full file" for a complete page you can save as index.html and open in a browser.
<div class="gradient"></div>The AI prompt
Paste this into an AI coding tool to generate the same gradient, then ask it to adapt the colours, text or framework to your project.
Create a full-screen linear CSS gradient background called "Candy Pop". Requirements: - A single div that fills the viewport (min-height: 100vh). - Use this exact background value: linear-gradient(90deg, #f9a8d4 0%, #fcd34d 50%, #67e8f9 100%) - Colours used: #f9a8d4, #fcd34d, #67e8f9. - No images and no JavaScript. - Also give me the same gradient as a Tailwind CSS arbitrary value class and as a CSS custom property (--gradient-candy-pop) I can reuse. Return one HTML file with the CSS in a <style> tag.
How to build it, step by step
- 1
Create an element to hold the gradient and give it a size. A gradient is a background image, so an element with no height shows nothing.
- 2
Use linear-gradient(). The first value is the direction (an angle such as 135deg, or a keyword such as 'to top'); the rest are colour stops with optional positions.
- 3
Add the colour stops: #f9a8d4 → #fcd34d → #67e8f9. Where no position is given, the browser spaces the stops evenly.
- 4
Check text contrast. Place your real heading on top and make sure it stays readable across the whole gradient, not just in one corner.
Customisation tips
- Store the gradient in a CSS custom property so every section uses the same value.
- Use dark navy or near-black text on this gradient.
- Add a subtle noise texture on top (see the Film Grain background) to remove visible colour banding on large screens.
