To do this, start by making both ends of the gradient the same color (in this case, red). In other words, use rich black for the black end of the gradient. Instead, you can get a much “richer” effect by adding black to the red. So for half the gradient you get a warm charcoal gray effect. That’s because the black end of the gradient was created with the black swatch, which yields just pure black ink. If you’ve ever made a gradient that went from a color to black in a print document, you might have been less than excited about the results.
