: How to blend multiple pre-made swatch gradients into 1 shape in Illustrator? I'm trying to make these separate rectangles into 1 rectangle with each gradient flowing seamlessly into one another.
I'm trying to make these separate rectangles into 1 rectangle with each gradient flowing seamlessly into one another.
Right now, the edges are too harsh for me and I want more smoothness.
All of these gradients are from the Metal swatches in the Gradient Library.
I tried using the Blend tool, but I was unsuccessful no matter which option I chose.
I made a gradient by hand to show you what I'm trying to do.
Here are some examples.
My predicament is my hand made gradient takes a while. I write each swatch's RGB number down then one by one I add it to my new shape.
Is there any way of making this process easier? Am I missing something? I'm new to using these programs and this is the second time I'm coming across this problem. Doing it by hand gives the best results but I feel like I'm making the process more complicated than it needs to be.
Thanks in advance Adobe Veterans!

You can do this with a single multi-colored gradient. I would not use blends here for any reason.
Set up the general swatches needed for each gradient.
Draw a rectangle and apply a gradient fill, then drag the swatches to the gradient to create the single multi-step gradient.
Once you have all the gradient stops, you can move them to position them as you'd like.
