Here is an image of what I am trying to create:
I have tried using border radius but the result is always too round. I am looking for a CSS solution (no SVG).
.blade {
height: 300px;
width: 150px;
border-radius: 0 0 50% 50%;
border-left:20px solid #c0bfde;
border-right:20px solid #7b7ba0;
background:#e3e1f6
}
<div class="blade"></div>
2 big circles created using radial-gradient
can approximate this:
.blade {
width: 150px;
height: 330px;
background:
radial-gradient(circle 600px at 600px 0, #e3e1f6 calc(100% - 51px), #c0bfde calc(100% - 50px) 99.8%, transparent) left,
radial-gradient(circle 600px at -526px 0, #e3e1f6 calc(100% - 51px), #7b7ba0 calc(100% - 50px) 99.8%, transparent) right;
background-size:50% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
<div class="blade"></div>
Update the radius to get closer to your shape:
.blade {
width: 150px;
height: 425px;
background:
radial-gradient(circle 1200px at 1200px 0, #e3e1f6 calc(100% - 51px), #c0bfde calc(100% - 50px) 99.8%, transparent) left,
radial-gradient(circle 1200px at -1123px 0, #e3e1f6 calc(100% - 51px), #7b7ba0 calc(100% - 50px) 99.8%, transparent) right;
background-size: 50% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<div class="blade"></div>
And with CSS variables to easily control:
.blade {
--b:50px; /* borders */
--r:1200px; /* radius*/
--w:150px; /* width */
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
width: var(--w);
/* the real formula cannot be expressed with calc() so we use a big value
real formula: height = sqrt(var(--r)² - (r - var(--w)/2)²) */
height: calc(var(--r)/2);
background:
radial-gradient(circle var(--r) at var(--r) 0, #e3e1f6 calc(100% - var(--b) - 1px), #c0bfde calc(100% - var(--b)) 99.8%, transparent) left,
radial-gradient(circle var(--r) at calc(var(--w)/2 - var(--r)) 0, #e3e1f6 calc(100% - var(--b) - 1px), #7b7ba0 calc(100% - var(--b)) 99.8%, transparent) right;
background-size: 50% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<div class="blade"></div>
<div class="blade" style="--b:20px;--r:800px"></div>
<div class="blade" style="--b:30px;--r:2000px"></div>
<div class="blade" style="--b:30px;--r:2000px;--w:100px"></div>
