Creating and working with
gradient fills
A gradient fill is a graduated blend
between two or more colors or tints of
the same color. You use the Gradient
dialog box to create your own gradients
and to modify existing gradients. You
can also add intermediate colors to a
gradient to create a fill defined by multi-
ple blends between colors.
You can create a linear or radial gra-
dient. With a radial gradient, the starting
point of the gradient defines the center
point of the fill, which radiates outward
to the ending point.
