 Applying a color on HTML elements is not limited to one flat hue. CSS provides the ability to use color transitions, otherwise known as gradients, on elements. This is accessed through the <code>background</code> property's <code>linear-gradient()</code> function. Here is the general syntax:
 <code>background: linear-gradient(gradient_direction, color 1, color 2, color 3, ...);</code>
-The first argument specifies the direction from which color transition starts - it can be stated as a degree, where <code>90deg</code> makes a horizontal gradient (from left to right) and <code>45deg</code> is angled like a backslash. The following arguments specify the order of colors used in the gradient.
+The first argument specifies the direction from which color transition starts - it can be stated as a degree, where <code>90deg</code> makes a horizontal gradient (from left to right) and <code>45deg</code> makes a diagonal gradient (from bottom left to top right). The following arguments specify the order of colors used in the gradient.
 Example:
 <code>background: linear-gradient(90deg, red, yellow, rgb(204, 204, 255));</code>
