                     Gradient Colors

                     Gradient colors in Adobe Illustrator allow you to create
                     smooth transitions between two or more colors, adding
                     depth and a professional touch to your designs. Gradients
                     can be applied to shapes, text, strokes, and more.
                     There are different types of Gradients in Illustrator to
                     create unique effects:

                        ∑  Linear Gradient: A straight-line transition from one
                         color to another.

                        ∑  Radial Gradient: A circular transition that spreads
                         outward from a central point.
                        ∑  Freeform Gradient: A custom gradient where colors
                         are placed at different points and blended.

                     To apply a Gradient in Illustrator, follow the given steps:

                     Step  1   Click on Window   Gradient to open the Gradient Panel or use the shortcut Ctrl + F9.
                     Step  2   Select an object (shape or text) using the Selection Tool (V) and click on the Gradient
                               Tool (G) in the toolbar.

                     Step  3   Click on the Gradient Bar to apply a default black-to-white gradient.

                     You  may  adjust  the  gradient  type  (Linear, Radial,  or Freeform). You  can  also  customise  the
                     Gradient colors by click on the Gradient Slider at the bottom and selecting the color.
