       Gradients are images that smoothly fades from one color to another. CSS
       provides ways to specify repeating and non-repeating linear and radial
       gradients. Radial gradients can be circular, or axis-aligned ellipses.

-      positions of color stops, must be between 0 and 1. The keywords for for
