Background gradient as two tone solid color - one color width in px

Question

div {
  height: 50px;
  width: 100%;
  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, white 50%, red 46px);
}

body {
  padding: 20px;
}

<div></div>

I'm trying to use linear gradients as a two tone solid color background in a div.

The div can be any width, and I would like one of the colors to have a specified width in px - and the other color to fill up whatever is left of the total width. Is that possible as all?

Like:

div {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, white auto, red 46px);
}

Answer 1

You Can simply go with:

Use the fixed background colour first then just put 0 in the second colour it will fill the rest of the div.

background: linear-gradient(to right, lightgreen 19px, darkgreen 0);

This will work fine for you.

div {
  display: inline-block;
  background: linear-gradient(to right, lightgreen 19px, darkgreen 0);
  width: 50%;
  height: 100px;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
}
