Sunrise Gradient
Yellow at the horizon rising through coral into violet, like an early morning sky. Copy the CSS below or use the AI prompt to generate variations.

Plain HTML and CSS with no dependencies. Copy a single file, or choose "Full file" for a complete page you can save as index.html and open in a browser.
<div class="gradient"></div>The AI prompt
Paste this into an AI coding tool to generate the same gradient, then ask it to adapt the colours, text or framework to your project.
Create a full-screen linear CSS gradient background called "Sunrise". Requirements: - A single div that fills the viewport (min-height: 100vh). - Use this exact background value: linear-gradient(to top, #fde68a 0%, #fca5a5 50%, #c4b5fd 100%) - Colours used: #fde68a, #fca5a5, #c4b5fd. - No images and no JavaScript. - Also give me the same gradient as a Tailwind CSS arbitrary value class and as a CSS custom property (--gradient-sunrise) I can reuse. Return one HTML file with the CSS in a <style> tag.
How to build it, step by step
- 1
Create an element to hold the gradient and give it a size. A gradient is a background image, so an element with no height shows nothing.
- 2
Use linear-gradient(). The first value is the direction (an angle such as 135deg, or a keyword such as 'to top'); the rest are colour stops with optional positions.
- 3
Add the colour stops: #fde68a → #fca5a5 → #c4b5fd. Where no position is given, the browser spaces the stops evenly.
- 4
Check text contrast. Place your real heading on top and make sure it stays readable across the whole gradient, not just in one corner.
Customisation tips
- Store the gradient in a CSS custom property so every section uses the same value.
- Use dark navy or near-black text on this gradient.
- Add a subtle noise texture on top (see the Film Grain background) to remove visible colour banding on large screens.
