What are color gradients?

A color gradient is when one color slowly turns into another, like a rainbow made by blending two colors together.

Imagine you have a box of crayons: one red and one yellow. If you mix them in the middle, you get orange. A gradient is kind of like that, but instead of just mixing two colors once, it shows all the steps from one color to another.

Think about a slide at the park. When you go down the slide, you start at the top and end at the bottom. Now imagine the slide changes color as you go down, maybe it starts red at the top and turns yellow by the time you reach the bottom. That change in color from one end to the other is a gradient.

Gradients are used in drawings, videos, even on your phone screen! They help make things look smooth and beautiful, just like how a rainbow looks when the sun comes out after rain. A color gradient is when one color slowly turns into another, like a rainbow made by blending two colors together.
