Promare Gradients

SASS npm version Packagist Version Github Release Total Downloads License

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' attention^1. 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">
    Call to Action
</div>

Shades and Tones

Each neon color comes in a regular form, two shades (*-0, *-25), and two tints (*-75, *-100). These classes color backgrounds a solid neon color:
