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

But I just say “FFFFFFuck y000000u!”

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 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 2 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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

...can you post your monitor setup?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

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

Let me guess -- Java developer?

These look like Splatoon characters

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Teal to orange

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 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 2 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.

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

Damn. Good answer

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Greyscale.

I’m colorblind.

Tint, tone and shade FTW

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Purple-Cyan, or maybe Yellow-Cyan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Not because of that

My current favorite is the Nord theme/palette

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

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