ever wanted a gradient that doesn't require multiple colors? here's an exciting little trick you might find useful. instead of using the traditional `linear-gradient()` or `radial-graduate()`, try this: create two overlapping div containers with opposite background hues and adjust their opacity! ```.css /* container 1 */ #container1 { width:100%; height:35px; } /* adjust size as needed.*/ #gradientcontainer1::before, #gradientcontainer2::after { content:""; position:absolute;} #gradientcontainer1{ background-color:#e74c68} /* your starting color */ /* container 2 - with reduced opacity for the gradient effect! adjust as needed.*/ #container2 { width:100%; height:35px; } #gradientcontainer2::before{ background-color: #f7d9db;} /* the second, opposite color */ /* make sure they're stacked on top of each other! */ body { margin:0} <div id="container1"> <div class='gradientcontainer gradientcontainer1'> </div> </div > <!– ensure container2 appears after the first with css */→ <style scoped media = "only screen and (min-width : 48em)"> /* for larger screens, hide #container1 to see only one box!*/ #gradientcontainer1 { opacity:0.5 } </style> <!– and here's container2 → <div id="container2">< div class='gradientcontainer gradientcontainer2'> </div></div > ```
