渐变过渡的部分解决方法是使用嵌入框阴影——你可以转换框阴影本身，也可以转换背景颜色——例如，如果你创建的嵌入框阴影与背景颜色相同，然后在背景颜色上使用过渡，它会产生一种错觉，即普通背景正在变为径向渐变

.button SPAN {
    padding: 10px 30px; 
    border: 1px solid ##009CC5;

    -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px 1px #00a7d1;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px 1px#00a7d1;
    box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px 1px #00a7d1; 

    background-color: #00a7d1;
    -webkit-transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
    -moz-transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
    -o-transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
    transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
}

.button SPAN:hover {
    background-color: #00c5f7; 
}

渐变还不支持过渡(尽管目前的规范说它们应该通过插值支持类似渐变到类似渐变的过渡)。

如果你想要一个背景渐变的渐隐效果，你必须在容器元素上设置一个不透明度，然后“过渡”不透明度。

(已经有一些浏览器版本支持渐变过渡(例如IE10。我在2016年在IE中测试了梯度转换，当时它们似乎可以工作，但我的测试代码不再工作了。)

更新:2018年10月 带有无前缀新语法的渐变过渡[例如径向渐变(…)]现在确认在Microsoft Edge 17.17134上工作(再次?)我不知道这是什么时候加入的。在最新的Firefox和Chrome / Windows 10上仍然不能工作。

更新:2021年12月 在最近的基于Chromium的浏览器中，使用@property的变通方法可以实现这一点(但在Firefox中不起作用)。请在YMMV上方看到@mahozad的回答(并点赞)。

我在工作中使用这个:)IE6+ https://gist.github.com/GrzegorzPerko/7183390

如果使用文本元素，不要忘记<element class="ahover"><span>Text</span></a>。

.ahover {
    display: block;
    /** text-indent: -999em; ** if u use only only img **/
    position: relative;
}
.ahover:after {
    content: "";
    height: 100%;
    left: 0;
    opacity: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 1;
}
.ahover:hover:after {
    opacity: 1;
}
.ahover span {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 2;
}

我想让div看起来像一个3D球体，并通过颜色过渡。 我发现渐变背景色还不能过渡。 我在元素前面放置了一个径向梯度背景(使用z-index)，并带有一个过渡的固体背景。

/* overlay */
z-index : 1;
background : radial-gradient( ellipse at 25% 25%, rgba( 255, 255, 255, 0 ) 0%, rgba( 0, 0, 0, 1 ) 100% );

然后下面的div.ball:

transition : all 1s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94);

然后改变div.ball的背景颜色，瞧!

一个更简洁的解决方案是设置背景色并使用蒙版图像。

#container div a {
  background-color: blue;
  transition: background 0.2s linear;
  width: 200px;
  height: 150px;
  mask-image: radial-gradient(circle at 50% 50%, rgba(0, 0, 0, .7), rgba(0, 0, 0, .4));
}

#container div a:hover { 
  background-color: red;
}

我知道这是一个老问题，但也许有人喜欢我在纯CSS解决方案的方式。从左到右渐变。
