Gradient Sets - Now with 6 Colors

Veronica Parsons

We love gradients and we love seeing all the ways people use them to create beautiful and interesting projects. Some of our favorite gradient patterns, like The Joker and the Thief, require six colors in the gradient, and we only had five in our sets, leading to annoying searches for that last perfect color.
