I love a smooth gradient wallpaper for iPhone. In fact, a lot of my personal wallpaper collection consists of simple gradient color changing images. The reason gradients make such great iPhone wallpapers is the simplicity and color variety. One thing to consider when using gradients is how it plays with the icons on your Home Screen. You don’t want a lot of color clash. The set today comes from the macOS Big Sur color palette. From hot pinks to rich, navy blues, this set is both dark and bright.
macOS gradient wallpapers
The following macOS-inspired iPhone wallpaper takes drops of color scattered throughout the Big Sur wallpaper collection and turns them into free flowing, soft transition gradient images. This is the handiwork of digital artist @AR72014. You can check out the AR7 curated iDB wallpaper gallery if you want to see more of his wallpaper.
My favorite wallpaper below is the fifth image, which is a deep navy to a brighter, lighter shade of blue. The color transition is extremely smooth and there is something attractive about using the same color for this gradient, but having two completely separate color experiences on either side of the wallpaper. I could see using this one as my Home Screen while I use one of the hot pink versions as a contrasting Lock Screen image.
