프로덕션 적용 전 그라디언트 테스트 방법
배포 전에 짧은 QA 체크를 통해 가독성, 일관성, 상태별 안정성을 점검하세요.
시안에서 좋아 보인 그라디언트도 실제 UI 상태에서는 문제가 생길 수 있습니다.
Start with one clear UI goal
Decide whether the gradient should separate sections, emphasize a block, or create depth.
One goal makes direction, colors, and intensity easier to control.
Choose two colors before adding complexity
Two stops are usually enough for clean interfaces.
Only add a third color if it solves a specific visual problem.
- Use nearby hues for subtle depth.
- Use stronger contrast only on focal sections.
- Check readability before locking colors.
Pick linear or radial based on layout shape
Linear gradients fit headers, cards, and directional flow.
Radial gradients fit spotlight-style emphasis behind one focal element.
Always validate with real text and components
Test the gradient behind real heading sizes, buttons, and cards.
If readability drops, reduce saturation or add a soft overlay.
Practical use cases
- Landing page hero backgrounds.
- Section dividers with subtle depth.
- CTA blocks that need clearer visual focus.
Use gradients as support, not decoration
Start with clarity, test quickly, then ship a gradient that helps the layout instead of competing with it.
