Visual Fades: Exploring Gradients in CSS

Gradients in CSS allow you to create smooth color transitions between two or more colors, enhancing the visual design of a web page.

The `linear-gradient` Function

The linear-gradient function creates a linear color transition. It takes a direction (e.g., `to right`) and at least two color stops. Example: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue).

The `radial-gradient` Function

The radial-gradient function creates a gradient that radiates from an origin. It can be a circle or ellipse. Example: radial-gradient(circle, yellow, green).
