Basic usage

Starting color

Use the from-* utilities to set the starting color of a gradient.

<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 ..."></div>

Ending color

Use the to-* utilities to set the ending color of a gradient.

<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-cyan-500 to-blue-500 ..."></div>

Gradients do not fade in from transparent by default. To fade in from transparent, reverse the gradient direction and use a from-* utility.

Middle color

Use the via-* utilities to add a middle color to a gradient.

<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 via-purple-500 to-pink-500 ..."></div>

Gradients with a from-* and via-* will fade out to transparent by default if no to-* is present.

Specifying stop positions

For more control over the gradient color stop positions, combine the gradient color utilities with gradient position utilities like from-10%, via-30% and to-90%.

10%
30%
90%
<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 from-10% via-sky-500 via-30% to-emerald-500 to-90% ..."></div>

Fading to transparent

Gradients fade out to transparent by default, without requiring you to add to-transparent explicitly. Tailwind intelligently calculates the right “transparent” value to use based on the starting color to avoid a bug in Safari < 15.4 that causes fading to simply the transparent keyword to fade through gray, which just looks awful.

Don’t add to-transparent explicitly

<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-blue-500 to-transparent">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Only specify a from color and fade to transparent automatically

<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-blue-500">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:from-pink-500 to only apply the from-pink-500 utility on hover.

<button type="button" class="bg-gradient-to-r from-green-400 to-blue-500 hover:from-pink-500 hover:to-yellow-500 ...">
  Hover me
</button>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:from-yellow-500 to apply the from-yellow-500 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-purple-400 md:from-yellow-500">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, Dark Mode and other media query modifiers.


Using custom values

Customizing your theme

By default, Tailwind makes the entire default color palette available as gradient colors. You can customize your color palette by editing theme.colors or theme.extend.colors in your tailwind.config.js file.

tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        'regal-blue': '#243c5a',
      },
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, you can customize just your gradient colors by editing theme.gradientColorStops or theme.extend.gradientColorStops in your tailwind.config.js file.

In addition to the colors, you can also customize the gradient color stop positions by editing theme.gradientColorStopPositions or theme.extend.gradientColorStopPositions.

tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      gradientColorStopPositions: {
        33: '33%',
      }
    }
  }
}

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off gradient color stop value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

<div class="from-[#243c5a]">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Learn more about arbitrary value support in the arbitrary values documentation.
