I was going for something similar with 75% opaque at the top and 0% opaque at the bottom, known as a neutral density gradient in photography, often used in landscape photographs to balance the bright sky against the less bright ground or water. This is a great one for me since I'm color blind.
Yeah, it's mostly a "nature" gradient. Besides the sand the golden part also gets close to fallen leaves.
I used this gradient a lot of times when making websites in the past (before CSS was a thing, to give you an idea on how long it was), as it's colourful without being flashy.
I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It's so cool.
Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.
Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).
Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me, color-wise
oh, interesting - yeah, I try not to let the marketing dominate my associations, but tbh it's impossible to control that; blue does seem to be a corporate favorite.
I usually think about the time I spent as a kid looking at a cylindrical bulb that had a rainbow color spectrum, I loved the color and especially the blues.
It might just be that I don't watch TV adverts and I use uBlock origin so I don't see ads online, so my main marketing comes from native ads (like stories on the radio) or billboards when driving places. I guess I mean the environment determines whether how those associations are built, for example I will forever associate British Petroleum with dinosaurs because my parents taped a dinosaur special on VHS and the big BP oil spill had happened so they were running lots of repetitive ads, so to get through my educational dinosaur show I had to at the very least regularly fast forward through these ads.
White to black, because people say that white and black aren’t colours.
But I just say “FFFFFFuck y000000u!”
They're not hues, but they are colors, which is a combination of hue, saturation, and brightness.
my fav color is clear, so my fav gradient would be opacity

This is actually my diagonal monitor background
...can you post your monitor setup?
That's not the kind of diagonal I expected. I thought it would be something like this:
Let me guess -- Java developer?
These look like Splatoon characters
Dunno if it counts as one or three gradients, but I really like this green/brown/gold gradations.
That reminds me of swimming in rivers in the forest, the sand looks golden like that through the water

The colors that appear in the sky during a sunset. Beautiful blues, purples and oranges, slowly dimming until it disappears over the horizon.
The background of all my devices is a gradient version of the bisexual flag, so I guess that'd be my fav gradient!
Teal to orange
'videogame ice effect'

Damn. Good answer
I mean yes, because that, but also it's just pretty.
Greyscale.
I’m colorblind.
Tint, tone and shade FTW
Cividis. Perceptually uniform gradient colormaps are fun for the whole family
Ultraviolet to gamma-ray gradient, with a polkadot pattern overlay.
Heck, I’m just a fan of the electromagnetic spectrum in general!
Purple-Cyan, or maybe Yellow-Cyan.
that fade from blue to purple
I got kind of sick of it for a while, because it was the latest clashy combo used by tech marketing, but it is legitimately pretty soothing
I wonder if orange+red is next

I'm sure that's a better way to be - to like what you like and disregard marketing trends

I also don't see actual adverts. By marketing I should've specified I mean more like branding, trendy website design, posters, etc.
Like when Facebook's Messenger took on the indigo/blue gradient I knew it had reached full orange/blue levels of saturation.
Purple
Something like this Firefox theme, but with some violet mixed in.
Red/Silver
Blue to yellow, duh
Slava Ukraini!
Not because of that
My current favorite is the Nord theme/palette
Dark purple, red, orange.
Black red orange yellow
it may not sound like colors at all, but it is peach-salmon.
Light Blue to Blue.
Range (RGB): Around 0,230,255 to about 0,170,255
The "Galaxy" blue/pink/purple/black
Green to blue to purple in electric pastels

Here: Have some gradient tech. I used these to program gradients for my esp32 powered holiday display.
Neon purple and green!
Dark forest, chartreuse, toxic yellow
Check my profile banner and you'll see.
Aquamarine to Black with a little gasoline spill in between
I guess what I would consider "electric blue": sky blue paired with a lighter navy blue.
Miami colors from the 80s
orange to brown
