Rose gradient
Rose runs a deep rose into a coral — a short walk around the wheel from red-violet toward orange, interpolated in oklab so the middle stays a clean pink rather than dropping into a muddy red. It is warmer than Candy and quieter, and it reads as editorial rather than commercial: the gradient of a magazine cover more than a download button.
It works behind white headlines at any size and suits fashion, publishing, and hospitality. Its risk is proximity to an error color: if the interface uses a red for destructive states, a Rose hero makes every destructive button look like part of the brand. Move the first stop toward magenta or the design toward a different family.

Rose, answered
- What are the CSS colors in the Rose gradient?
- Rose uses 2 colors: #be123c, #fb7185. It is a linear gradient, so the angle sets which way it runs. The full value is linear-gradient(135deg in oklab, #be123c 0%, #fb7185 100%) — copy the CSS rule, the Tailwind class or the custom property above, or open it in the playground to change any stop.
- How do I use the Rose gradient in Tailwind CSS?
- Copy the Tailwind tab: it is an arbitrary-value class of the form bg-[image:…], with the spaces in the gradient written as underscores, which Tailwind v3 and v4 both accept for a one-off value. For a value you reuse across the site, register the Token tab's custom property in your theme instead and reference it from a utility.
- Why is the Rose gradient interpolated in oklab?
- Two colors interpolated in sRGB pass through a grayer, darker middle than either end; in oklab the midpoint is perceptually between them, so the ramp stays clean. Every gradient function accepts an in <space> keyword, and oklab is the right default for a color-to-color ramp.
