About
About Gradient Picker
This comprehensive color tool enables users to select solid colors, create and customize complex gradients, browse background images, and generate complete color themes for UI components, all within a unified, accessible interface. The application provides free samples for exploration and includes an affiliate program offering significant commissions, demonstrating a sustainable open-source business model.
Perfect for design systems teams establishing brand colors and gradient patterns, developers building themed applications requiring dynamic color generation, marketing teams creating branded assets and landing pages, or designers working on visual identities where gradient exploration and theme generation accelerate creative workflows. With easy integration into existing design systems and released under the MIT license, Gradient Picker showcases how specialized tools can bridge the gap between design inspiration and implementation, providing developers with a practical utility that generates production-ready CSS while offering designers the creative freedom to explore color combinations without technical barriers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Gradient Picker.
Gradient Picker is a fancy, visually appealing web application built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Radix UI, designed to help developers and designers select and customize color gradients with an intuitive interface. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Gradient Picker is made by Illyism, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Illyism has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Gradient Picker with Next.js, React, Tailwind and Radix UI. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Gradient Picker page embeds its live demo from gradientpicker.vercel.app, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Gradient Picker listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/Illyism/gradient-picker), then follow the README. The Gradient Picker page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Gradient Picker repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Gradient Picker is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Gradient Picker is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The Gradient Picker listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/Illyism/gradient-picker), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Gradient Picker's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Gradient Picker's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Gradient Picker is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Illyism supports Gradient Picker, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Gradient Picker is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Gradient Picker uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Gradient Picker for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 29 other open source Radix UI templates like Gradient Picker, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/radix-ui.
Illyism has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
