Dense Caption

Four distinct green circular gradients arranged in a 2x2 grid pattern on a solid black background. Each circle features a central bright green core that gradually fades to darker green edges, creating a soft radial gradient effect. The circles are evenly spaced with a thin black vertical and horizontal line separating them. The green hues range from vivid neon green at the center to deep forest green at the periphery. The image has a pixelated appearance with visible dithering in the gradient transitions. The circles are perfectly circular with no additional shapes or markings.
