Working with fountain fills

A fountain fill, also known as a gradient fill or a ramp fill, is a progression of colors through the color wheel, following a linear, radial, conical, or square path.

There are two types of fountain fills: two-color and custom. Two-color fountain fills blend from one color to another. Custom fills, however, allow you to create a cascade of different colors. You can also create custom fountain fills by changing the direction of the fill, adding intermediate colors, or changing the angle of the fill.
