Just to clarify, in certain development environments or tools, when you hover over the CSS properties for a gradient, it shows a preview of the color gradient direction. This can be incredibly useful for developers as it allows them to visualize the gradient without having to constantly refresh their page.
Here’s an example:
If you hover over “(30deg, #cc4e13, papayawhip);” in the following code:
background-image: linear-gradient(30deg, #cc4e13, papayawhip);
Any modifications you make to the degree or color will be previewed right above it. This feature can save a lot of time and make the process of designing with gradients much more efficient.

A few popular examples include (and there are many others):
