About this gradient

A complementary gradient pairing #C0959F scarlet with #A6B481 lime — dynamic energy for the modern brand surface. The 135° anchor pulls the brighter stop to the lower-left, suggesting rise and forward motion.

Colour story

#C0959F reads as scarlet (red zone) — a saturated red leaning warm. It transitions into #A6B481, a lime (lime-green range) — a fresh lime saturation. The split-complementary tension delivers the gradient's dynamic character.

#C0959F
#A6B481

Where to use it

  • →Modern SaaS hero surfaces — analytics, productivity, dev tools
  • →Lifestyle app branding for productivity and mindfulness platforms

Design tips

  • ·Avoid layering with another saturated gradient on the same page
  • ·Add 5-8% noise grain for editorial polish — pure flat gradient feels too 'rendered'
  • ·Body text contrast: white on darker stops, near-black on lighter stops — adapt by region
