Is it possible to make a gradient in Illustrator that follows that path?
I made something similar (just not with a single path, but with the pen tool) and I want to have the gradient follow the shape, but instead it just goes either linear (top to bottom) or radial (from the inside out). I want to have the start of the spiral lighter and than the tip in the center to be darker.

There is now a "Apply gradient along stroke" setting in the Gradient panel of Illustrator CC. My current version is 20.0.0. Just adding this for googlers.
