White to Pink Gradient — CSS, Hex and Angles
The softest possible accent — a tint rather than a colour change. The pair is #FFFFFF → #EC4899, and on a 135° axis it reads as a diagonal wash. Everything below is generated from those two values, so the CSS you copy is exactly what the previews render.
Copy the CSS
.gradient {
background: #FFFFFF; /* fallback for old browsers */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%);
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%);
}const gradientStyle = {
background: '#FFFFFF', // fallback
backgroundImage: 'linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%)',
};The two endpoints
| Name | Hex | RGB | HSL | vs white | vs black | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| White | #FFFFFF | rgb(255, 255, 255) | hsl(0, 0%, 100%) | 1.00:1 | 21.00:1 | |
| Pink | #EC4899 | rgb(236, 72, 153) | hsl(330, 81%, 60%) | 3.53:1 | 5.95:1 |
The midpoint is #f6a4cc (rgb(246, 164, 204), saturation 81%). Close to the 41% the two ends average, so the transition stays saturated throughout.
What each angle does
| Angle | Direction | Function value |
|---|---|---|
| 0° | bottom → top | linear-gradient(0deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| 45° | bottom-left → top-right | linear-gradient(45deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| 90° | left → right | linear-gradient(90deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| 135° | top-left → bottom-right | linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| 180° | top → bottom | linear-gradient(180deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| 225° | top-right → bottom-left | linear-gradient(225deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| 270° | right → left | linear-gradient(270deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| 315° | bottom-right → top-left | linear-gradient(315deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
The same pair as linear, radial and conic
| Type | Function value |
|---|---|
| linear | linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| radial | radial-gradient(circle at 50% 50%, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
| conic | conic-gradient(from 0deg at 50% 50%, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%) |
Frequently asked
What is the CSS for a white to pink gradient?background: linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #EC4899 100%); — #FFFFFF at 0% and #EC4899 at 100%, on a 135° axis. Swap 135deg for to right if you want the direction to follow the element ratio instead of a fixed angle.
Does it need vendor prefixes?
Not for current browsers. Unprefixed linear-gradient has been supported everywhere for years, and the -webkit- / -moz- lines only matter for stacks that still ship to browsers older than 2013. The generator emits both, plus a solid #FFFFFF fallback.
Why would the middle look muddy?
This pair does not: both ends are close enough in hue that a straight sRGB blend stays clean, with mid #f6a4cc holding 81% saturation against 41% at the ends.
Can I put text straight onto it?
Check both ends, not the average. White text clears 4.5:1 against neither end and black text clears it against the white end. Measured ratios: White is 1.00:1 on white and 21.00:1 on black; Pink is 3.53:1 on white and 5.95:1 on black.
