Color palette
Retro gradient generator explained
The retro gradient generator pairs #FACC15 as its primary hue with #c8a311 as the accent. The palette is balanced for retro aesthetics while keeping text readable against the surface color.
Every swatch is derived from the same two anchor colors, so the gradient generator stays harmonious across backgrounds, borders, buttons, and hover states. Copy the CSS below or open it in your favorite tool and apply it immediately.
Use the preview image as a starting point for your own mockups. It shows the exact #FACC15 → #F97316 gradient applied to a phone screen, a primary button, and a wave pattern so you can see how the retro look plays out in a real interface.
