Tuto Illustrator : notation for gradient of colors

To discover the content of this blog visit the "summary" page.

The notation that I use to describe a gradient of X colors (Tool G) is always the same one. I give an example below (path for a hair) for a gradient of 3 colors (linear gradient, angle = 0°), noted as follows:

·         Location 17,5%, RGB = 206, 156, 80

·         Location 56%, RGB = 255, 246, 226 (distribution: 50-50%)

·         Location 92%, RGB = 220, 186, 146 (distribution: 50-50%)



1)      Location 17.5%, RGB = 206, 156, 80 means : the first color (RGB = 206, 156, 80) located at 17.5% of the bar gradient (see below):



2)      Location 56%, RGB = 255, 246, 226 (distribution: 50-50%) means : the second color (RGB = 255, 246, 226) located at 56% of the bar gradient (see below):

And distribution between the first and second color is 50-50%:

 

3)      Location 92%, RGB = 220, 186, 146 (distribution: 50-50%) means : the third color (RGB = 220, 186, 146) located at 92% of the bar gradient (see below):

 

And distribution between the second and third color is 50-50%:
