How the Random Gradient Generator works
Each gradient combines two independently drawn colors, with each RGB channel constrained to a 20–235 range rather than the full 0–255 — this avoids the near-black and near-white extremes that tend to make gradients look either muddy or washed out, keeping results usable as real background colors more often than a fully unconstrained random color would.
The output is a ready-to-use CSS linear-gradient() value, so you can copy it directly into a stylesheet's background property without any reformatting.
How to use it

Why are colors restricted to a certain brightness range?
Keeping every channel between 20 and 235 avoids pure black or pure white, which tend to make two-color gradients look flat or harsh rather than usable.
Can I generate more than two colors in one gradient?
Not currently — this tool focuses on clean two-color gradients; for a multi-stop gradient, generate two or three separately and combine their color codes manually.
Will the gradient always look good for text overlays?
Not guaranteed — always check contrast with any text you plan to place over the gradient, since color combinations are randomized rather than curated for accessibility.
