What are angular gradients?

Angular gradients are like the way light gets brighter or darker when you turn a flashlight around a room.

Imagine you have a flashlight, and instead of shining it straight ahead, you spin it in a circle. The light from the flashlight makes a soft, flowing pattern on the wall, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, depending on where the light is pointing. That’s what an angular gradient looks like: colors that flow smoothly around a point, getting lighter or darker as they move outward, just like the light from a spinning flashlight.

Think of a circle, like a pizza. If you start with one color at the center and let it change gradually as it moves toward the edge, maybe going from red in the middle to blue on the outside, that’s an angular gradient. It's not just straight lines or shapes, but colors flowing around like water in a whirlpool.

You've probably seen this when you look at a spinning wheel with different colored sections. As it spins, the colors blend together, creating a soft, flowing pattern, that’s an angular gradient in action!
