Here's an approach with weighted blending.

And with an extra power component to amplify the weighting.

hello David,

I was wondering, is there a way to apply this logic to a mesh? i have a grid, which i subdivide into groups based on the distance from attractor points. the grid is transformed  in x,y,z directions based on the attractor points, and using the plug in Mesh from Points, i create a mesh out of these points. so is there a way to create a gradient colouring of the mesh, based on the distance between its vertices and the attractor points? so in a way it is obvious which part of the mesh was influenced by which attractor???

thanks in advance for your reply!

Aaah this Weighted Average component is nice, I would never have thought about using it on colors.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem but the difference is that instead of having populate2D, am having a mesh. Also, instead of points acting as an attractor, in my case there are coloured lines on the mesh which will be the attractors in my case and according to which i need the color of the mesh to vary. This is right now very conceptual. 

Can you help me?? 

Thanks in advance! :)
