1. you need this first site and this second one !

note : gradient can only be done on the web

2. use the first site to insert an image and select your hex codes

3. move on to the second site

enter the text you want colored into the text box, then choose your color effect. ( i use the “three colored gradient” for mine )

copy your hex codes from the first site and enter them into the “choose the colors” section

like so :

now copy the entire HTML code ( NOT BB ) and open a new draft on tumblr web ! it must be on the web version, or this will not work. i also recommend doing this on a computer if it is available, as i find it simpler to switch tabs.

4. go to the new draft’s settings and find “text editor,” then switch the drop down to HTML

directly paste the copied HTML into the draft and then click save. it should now show up colored with a gradient.

like so :

you can now open up the draft, copy the colored text, and paste it where you need.
