Updated February 20, 2017. Definition: A gradient, or graduated fill, is a color fill that gradually blends from one color to another. A gradient can contain more than two colors, all fading smoothly from one to another. Gradients are very useful for creating shading for three-dimensional and metallic effects.
In addition, because the gradient is generated by the browser, objects with gradients look better when zoomed, and you can adjust your layout with much more flexibility. Browsers support two types of gradients: linear, defined with the linear-gradient() function, and radial, defined with radial-gradient(). To create a linear gradient, you set a starting point and a direction (specified as an angle) along which the gradient effect is applied. You also define color stops.
