Here's an example of a linear rainbow gradient fill that was created by using six gradient stops, each with a different color. To apply a color a gradient stop, click a stop on the Gradient Stops bar, and then click Color to choose the color you want. To set the direction for the gradient, click Direction.įor each of the fill colors that you want in your gradient: Ĭlick the shape, and when the Format tab appears, click Shape Fill.Ĭlick Gradient > More Gradients > Gradient fill. To remove a gradient, click Remove gradient stops. To change a gradient, click the stop on the slider that you want to change. To add a gradient, you click Add gradient stops. The maximum number of stops is 10, and the minimum is 2. Once you select a stop, you can use the other options to fine tune your gradient. You can add or remove stops from the slider bar, and you can change the stop locations by sliding the stop or using the Position percentage for a precise position. The key to making gradient fills are gradient stops-specific points where the blending of two adjacent colors in a gradient end.
