Gradient posibilities???

is it possible to have a gradient of only (lets say) 4 colors.

what I know so far its that if you have a gradiend from red to blue you can have millions of variations in between.

but can I have only 4 for example [red, darker red, purple and blue] just a few solid colors and apply them to various objects???

did I explain myself?

example!

yes you can. Just make 5 points on gradient and set 2 (left and right) colors for each exclude first and last.

Hi Francicso,

gradients in Grasshopper support grips with different colours left and right. It's a bit more work to set it up, but you can have a look at the 'zebra' gradient preset to see how it's done.

Hi Im having the same problem that is stated above. In fact I need 5 different colors on gradient thats why I can t use the zebra preset. How can I achieve to have multiple colors on a surface but not like gradient but like pixels blue red and green only. In that case blue red green yellow and orange for instant.
