How Do You Do a Gradient in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:26 am

A gradient is a gradual transition between two or more colors. In HTML, there are two ways to create a gradient. The first is using the background-image property, and the second is using the filter property.

The background-image property is used to set an image as the background of an element. To create a gradient, you’ll need to use the linear-gradient function.

This function takes two or more color values as arguments. The first color value is the start color, and the last color value is the end color. The colors in between are intermediary colors.

Here’s an example of how to use the linear-gradient function:

background-image: linear-gradient(to right, red, orange, yellow);

This will create a gradient that goes from red to orange to yellow. You can add as many colors as you want to create a more complex gradient.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Figma, we recommend that you do not attempt to do a gradient in Figma. Figma is a complex design tool and the process of creating a gradient can be difficult to understand. There are many tutorials available online that can help you understand how to do a gradient in Figma.

The other way to create a gradient in HTML is by using the filter property. The filter property is used to apply visual effects to an element.

To create a gradient with the filter property, you’ll need to use the feColorMatrix function. This function takes six arguments: four color values and two number values. The first two arguments are the start and end colors of the gradient, and the last two arguments are the number values for the gradient’s opacity and brightness.

Here’s an example of how to use the feColorMatrix function:

filter: feColorMatrix(sRgb, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0);

This will create a gradient that goes from black to white. You can adjust the opacity and brightness values to create different effects.

Gradients are a great way to add some visual interest to your web pages. With CSS3, they’re easy to create and there are many different ways to do it. Try out different gradients and see what looks best on your page!
