      I was going for something similar with 75% opaque at the top and 0% opaque at the bottom, known as a neutral density gradient in photography, often used in landscape photographs to balance the bright sky against the less bright ground or water. This is a great one for me since I’m color blind.

    The background of all my devices is a gradient version of the bisexual flag, so I guess that’d be my fav gradient!

    Cividis. Perceptually uniform gradient colormaps are fun for the whole family

    ‘videogame ice effect’

    I seriously love the weird ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It’s so cool. Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.

    Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me

      I got kind of sick of it for a while, because it was the latest clashy combo used by tech marketing, but it is legitimately pretty soothing

      I wonder if orange+red is next

        oh, interesting - yeah, I try not to let the marketing dominant my associations, but tbh it’s impossible to control that; blue does seem to be a corporate favorite.

        I usually think about the time I spent at a kid looking at a cylindrical bulb that had a rainbow color spectrum, I loved the color and especially the blues.

          I’m sure that’s a better way to be - to like what you like and disregard marketing trends

            It might just be that I don’t watch TV adverts and I use uBlock origin so I don’t see ads online, so my main marketing comes from native ads (like stories on the radio) or billboards when driving places. I guess I mean the environment determines whether how those associations are built, for example I will forever associate British Petroleum with dinosaurs because my parents taped a dinosaur special on VHS and the big BP oil spill had happened so they were running lots of repetitive ads, so to get through my educational dinosaur show I had to at the very least regularly fast forward through these ads.
