CSS Gradients

CSS Gradients are a CSS feature that allows developers to create smooth transitions between two or more specified colors as backgrounds or borders in web elements. They enable the creation of visually appealing color effects without using image files, improving performance and flexibility. Gradients can be linear (in a straight line), radial (circular), or conic (rotating around a center point).

Also known as: CSS Gradient, CSS3 Gradients, Gradient Backgrounds, Linear Gradient, Radial Gradient
