Lilac Cloud

4-color mesh gradient

Open in Studio Visualize

Lilac Cloud is a 4-color CSS mesh gradient built from #E4CFFB, #B8A5E3, #FBF6FF, and #A9D3F5. Its hues sit in the purple and blue ranges, and reads as pastel, muted, and cool. Dark text (#111827) on it keeps at least 8.05:1 at its weakest point — enough for WCAG AAA body text.
