Vaporwave gradient generator explained

The vaporwave gradient generator pairs #9cebf7 as its primary hue with #dcbbfc as the accent. The palette is balanced for vaporwave 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 #9cebf7 → #dcbbfc gradient applied to a phone screen, a primary button, and a wave pattern so you can see how the vaporwave look plays out in a real interface.
