How to use Gradient Color Steps

Pick a start and end color, set how many steps you want, and copy each interpolated color in the generated scale.

Frequently asked questions

What does this tool generate?

A set of discrete colors interpolated evenly between a start and end color — like sampling a gradient at fixed points.

How many steps can I create?

Choose any number of steps; more steps give a smoother transition between the two endpoint colors.

Where are stepped gradients useful?

In charts, heatmaps and categorical scales where you need a fixed number of distinct but related colors.
