In JavaScript, creating a red gradient can be done using CSS gradients. You can define a linear gradient or a radial gradient. For a red gradient, you would use red hues in the gradient definition. For example, a linear red gradient could be written as: `background: linear-gradient(to right, red, #ff0000);` This creates a gradient from red to dark red. For more complex gradients, you can use multiple color stops with varying hues, saturation, and lightness values.
