Gradients are a powerful way to add depth, style, and modern appeal to your website or app. With just a few hex color codes and CSS, you can create stunning visual effects in minutes.
CSS Gradient Basics

or background-image
property in your CSS:
background: linear-gradient(to right, #FF7E5F, #FEB47B);
This code creates a smooth transition from coral to peach, going left to right.
