Introduction to Radial Gradient in CSS
The Radial Gradient is a predefined CSS function. This is defined as to set or adding the gradient colors as any background of the image. Gradient color is the facility to add multiple colors at a time. This radial gradient starts at a single point and is applied even outward of the image. As per CSS’s default radial-gradient feature, the first or initial color starts at the center position of the HTML element. Then it faded the color towards the end of the edge corner of the element. Faded off, the color distributes equals throughout the image until we specify some value in the function. We can add multiple colors to the image with a faded feature.
Syntax
Here is the syntax as follows:
img
{
background-image: radial-gradient( shape, size, position, start-color, ..., last-color );//we can as many colors as we want in place of ....
}Parameters
- Shape: This parameter defines the shape of the gradient.
- Possible Values: ellipse (default), circle
- Size: This declares the size of the gradient.
- Possible Values: farthest-corner (default), closest-side, closest-corner, farthest-side
- Position: This declares the position of the gradient.
- Possible Values: Center() Default
- start-color, …, last-color: This provides color value and its stop value (optional)
- Possible values: 0 to 100%, 0 to 100% with color name

Conclusion
The background image of the HTML element allows for the application of different colors and shapes. We can use any shape to apply these colors to that element. The color of the inner side’s deepest point to the outer side’s highest point becomes faded.
