Tailwind CSS Gradients: Addressing Color Blending

Gotcha: Gradients can look harsh or dated if the chosen colors don't blend well. Consider color harmony and the transition points.

1. Potentially Harsh Blend

Red directly to Green

This gradient uses highly contrasting colors (red and green) without a middle transition. Depending on the specific shades, this can sometimes appear abrupt or less aesthetically pleasing than a smoother, more analogous blend.

2. Smoother, Harmonious Blend

Sky Blue to Cyan (Analogous)

Using colors closer on the color wheel (analogous colors) like sky blue and cyan often results in a naturally smoother and more harmonious gradient.

3. Smoother Blend with a 'via' Color Stop

Purple via Pink to Orange

Introducing a middle color with the via-{color}-{shade} class can help bridge a wider gap between the from and to colors, creating a more sophisticated and smoother transition, avoiding harshness.
