| 1 | # Palette: sunset-gradient |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Warm gradient flow — pink → orange → purple, atmospheric and energetic. Used for lifestyle / creative agencies / travel / music / event / modern brand decks where mood and warmth carry the page. Distinguished by being the **one palette built around transitions**, not flat blocks. |

| 5 | > This file describes **color behavior**, not HEX values. sunset-gradient tells the model how to apply the deck's HEX values **as gradient stops**, not as discrete fills. |

| 9 | | Rendering | Notes | |
| 10 | |---|---| |
| 11 | | ✓✓ flat | Smooth gradient on flat geometry | |
| 12 | | ✓✓ watercolor | Gradient is watercolor's native language | |
| 13 | | ✓✓ warm-scene | Sunset-grade cinematic atmosphere | |
| 14 | | ✓ vector-illustration | Acceptable but requires the gradient exception (vector-illustration normally bans gradients — sunset-gradient explicitly overrides for the background) | |
| 15 | | ✓ glassmorphism | Soft cool gradient under glass panels (use a tame variant) | |
| 16 | | ✓ 3d-isometric | Gradient sky behind isometric forms | |
| 17 | | ✗ minimalist-swiss / blueprint / mono-ink | Wrong temperament | |
| 18 | | ✗ pixel-art / sketch-notes / ink-notes / chalkboard | Wrong material | |
| 19 | | ✗ corporate-photo | Photography uses real grading, not painted gradient | |

| 21 | > **Override**: sunset-gradient is the palette that **forces a gradient** into the image. When the chosen rendering normally bans gradients (e.g. vector-illustration), the gradient applies to the **background field only**, while shapes on top remain flat per the rendering's rules. |

| 29 | > [...rendering paragraph...] Color behavior is sunset-gradient: smooth diagonal gradient flowing from primary deep pink `#EC4899` in the lower-left corner, transitioning through secondary warm orange `#F97316` across the middle band, into accent purple `#9333EA` in the upper-right corner. Smooth blending — no hard color edges. Above the gradient field, one stylized flat near-black silhouette of a stylized palm tree sits at the lower right as a focal rest point (about 6% of canvas). Atmospheric, energetic, optimistic. [...container guidance...] |
