White to black, because people say that white and black aren’t colours.

But I just say “FFFFFFuck y000000u!”

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

They're not hues, but they are colors, which is a combination of hue, saturation, and brightness.

my fav color is clear, so my fav gradient would be opacity

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I was going for something similar with 75% opaque at the top and 0% opaque at the bottom, known as a neutral density gradient in photography, often used in landscape photographs to balance the bright sky against the less bright ground or water. This is a great one for me since I'm color blind.

This is actually my diagonal monitor background

[–] bitfucker 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...can you post your monitor setup?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

That's not the kind of diagonal I expected. I thought it would be something like this:

Let me guess -- Java developer?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

These look like Splatoon characters

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dunno if it counts as one or three gradients, but I really like this green/brown/gold gradations.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That reminds me of swimming in rivers in the forest, the sand looks golden like that through the water

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it's mostly a "nature" gradient. Besides the sand the golden part also gets close to fallen leaves.

I used this gradient a lot of times when making websites in the past (before CSS was a thing, to give you an idea on how long it was), as it's colourful without being flashy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Teal to orange

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

The background of all my devices is a gradient version of the bisexual flag, so I guess that'd be my fav gradient!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

The colors that appear in the sky during a sunset. Beautiful blues, purples and oranges, slowly dimming until it disappears over the horizon.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Trans Pride Flag as a Gradient

I mean yes, because that, but also it's just pretty.

'videogame ice effect'

I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It's so cool.

Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.

Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).

Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me, color-wise

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Damn. Good answer

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Greyscale.

I’m colorblind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Tint, tone and shade FTW

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ultraviolet to gamma-ray gradient, with a polkadot pattern overlay.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Heck, I’m just a fan of the electromagnetic spectrum in general!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Cividis. Perceptually uniform gradient colormaps are fun for the whole family

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

that fade from blue to purple

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I got kind of sick of it for a while, because it was the latest clashy combo used by tech marketing, but it is legitimately pretty soothing

I wonder if orange+red is next

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

oh, interesting - yeah, I try not to let the marketing dominate my associations, but tbh it's impossible to control that; blue does seem to be a corporate favorite.

I usually think about the time I spent as a kid looking at a cylindrical bulb that had a rainbow color spectrum, I loved the color and especially the blues.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure that's a better way to be - to like what you like and disregard marketing trends

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It might just be that I don't watch TV adverts and I use uBlock origin so I don't see ads online, so my main marketing comes from native ads (like stories on the radio) or billboards when driving places. I guess I mean the environment determines whether how those associations are built, for example I will forever associate British Petroleum with dinosaurs because my parents taped a dinosaur special on VHS and the big BP oil spill had happened so they were running lots of repetitive ads, so to get through my educational dinosaur show I had to at the very least regularly fast forward through these ads.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I also don't see actual adverts. By marketing I should've specified I mean more like branding, trendy website design, posters, etc.

Like when Facebook's Messenger took on the indigo/blue gradient I knew it had reached full orange/blue levels of saturation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Purple-Cyan, or maybe Yellow-Cyan.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

My current favorite is the Nord theme/palette

Not because of that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Something like this Firefox theme, but with some violet mixed in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

it may not sound like colors at all, but it is peach-salmon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Black red orange yellow

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Dark purple, red, orange.

Green to blue to purple in electric pastels

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

orange to brown

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I guess what I would consider "electric blue": sky blue paired with a lighter navy blue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Aquamarine to Black with a little gasoline spill in between
