Explain the function of the Color panel with regard to gradients. Include a definition of color stop in your response.

What will be an ideal response?


The Color panel allows you to create colors and gradients to use on strokes and fills. To use the panel, you would first select a fill type from the Color Type menu. You can click an option button to select Hue, Saturation, Bright (HSB) mode or Red, Green, Blue (RGB) mode. Use the sliders or click in the large colored box to set a color. Adjusting the Alpha value sets the transparency of the color. An alpha value of 0% is transparent, while 100% is opaque. In the case of a gradient, a gradient bar appears at the bottom of the Color panel and displays the gradient. Color stops are located below the gradient bar. A color stop marks the location along the gradient where a new color starts. A gradient requires at least two color stops. You can click a color stop to set its color. To add a new color stop, click a blank area below the gradient bar. To delete a color stop, you would drag it down away from the gradient bar. Finally, you drag across a shape or object on the stage with the Paint Bucket Tool to apply the gradient.
