Promare Gradients

Promare Gradients standardizes the use of neon colors for web backgrounds. It's a tiny stylesheet library that comes with over 25,000 different neon background combinations.

Neon colors have a high chroma. When they are contrasted they psychologically grab the users' attention¹. It's no wonder why neon signs have been used for call to actions.

Quick start

Here are some ways to start your own dramatic neon colored web presence:

• Download the latest release
• Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/Ouxsoft/promare-gradients.git
• Install with npm: npm i @ouxsoft/promare-gradients
• Install with Composer: composer require ouxsoft/promare-gradients

Usage

Neon Colors

Promare Gradients features sixteen (16) base colors that were carefully chosen to embody neon lights:

green, ufo, lime, red, orange, yellow, absinthe, chartreuse, pink, magenta, plastic, purple, proton, blue, cyan, and grayscale.

<div class=".bg-blue">
