Frequently Asked Questions

  
What's the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?
linear-gradient() transitions colors along a straight line at a given angle. radial-gradient() transitions colors outward from a center point in a circle or ellipse. conic-gradient() rotates colors around a center point like a color wheel — useful for pie charts and loading spinners.

  
How many color stops can a CSS gradient have?
There's no hard limit — you can add as many color stops as needed, each with its own position percentage. Most practical gradients use 2-4 stops; more than that usually adds visual noise rather than a smoother transition.

  
Can I use gradients alongside a background image?
Yes — the background property accepts multiple layered values, so a gradient can sit as an overlay on top of a background-image (for example, to darken a photo for text legibility) by listing the gradient first, separated by a comma, before the url().
