This background is for a slide that wants warmth without any texture competing with the content. A soft orange gradient shifts smoothly into golden yellow, with a single gentle wave curving through the lower third of the frame. Free, HD, and watermark-free for Google Slides or PowerPoint.
What This Orange Gradient Background Looks Like
Unlike a diagonal, textured gradient, this one is smooth and unbroken, warm orange settling toward the left and softening into golden yellow toward the right, with no lines or grain layered on top.
A single, subtle wave shape curves gently across the lower portion of the frame, barely a shade darker than the surrounding gradient, adding a touch of movement without pulling focus.
Where This Background Fits
This suits summer and travel presentations, wellness and lifestyle brand decks, product launch slides, and any content that wants a clean, warm gradient with room to breathe.
Design Choices Behind This Smooth Golden Wave
I left this gradient free of any hairline texture, unlike some of my other diagonal gradients, because a completely smooth surface reads as calmer and more premium, which suits lifestyle and wellness content better than a technical texture would.
The wave sits low in the frame and stays close in tone to the gradient around it, so it reads as a quiet design detail rather than a graphic element that needs to be worked around.

Legibility Tip for This Background
Dark brown, charcoal, or white text with a subtle shadow both work well here. Keep small text out of the golden yellow zone on the right, where contrast is lowest.
