White gradient background
A white gradient is barely there: pure white at the top centre fading into whitesmoke and then pale gainsboro grey at the edges. It gives a plain, minimal page a little depth without looking coloured.

Check it on more than one screen
Near-white shades look different from screen to screen. On a dim phone the fade can vanish, and on a bright monitor it can look greyer than you meant. Preview the PNG on the screen your audience will use. For a warmer white, swap whitesmoke for snow (#fffafa) or ivory (#fffff0).
Questions
What is a minimal gradient background?
One with two or three colours very close together, like white into light grey here, so you notice depth more than colour.
Will black text work on it?
Yes. Black text has strong contrast over the whole gradient, even at the grey edges.
