How to Modify the Rainbow Gradient Colors Step 1 Step 2Ĭlick the 'Spectrum' rainbow swatch from the Spectrums panel and the 'Brights' color group from the Print panel to easily add them in the Swatches panel. This will open another panel which comes with a six-color rainbow gradient named 'Spectrum'. Re-open the fly-out menu from the Swatches panel and this time go to Open Swatch Library > Gradients > Spectrums. We'll use these LGBT color codes to create the Illustrator rainbow gradient. This will open a new panel which comes with a group of six colors. Open the fly-out menu from the Swatches panel and go to Open Swatch Library > Default Swatches > Print. The first thing you need to do is to add the six colors that make up the pride color palette to your Swatches panel, so they can eventually be added to a gradient. You can read up on the history of the pride flag on Wikipedia-it's rather interesting. The six colors that make up the pride color palette are: The pride rainbow is made up of six colors, each color representing a different meaning. if the colors of the input are too light, then the thin lines in the output preview might be hard to see (in this case, you can replace the output color with eg.Create a Pride Rainbow Gradient Overlay in Illustrator for images containing shapes other than lines timeouts can occur (in this case reload page to try again) + grayscale image with non-overlapping shapes (like sketches) + black/white image with non-overlapping shapes (like drawings) + clipart with few colors and non-overlapping shapes The center line of shapes is calculated and vectorized to lines. The edges are the resulting lines in black color. The contour of shapes is calculated by merging all enabled colors and then vectorizing their edges.
The outline of shapes is calculated and vectorized to lines. Vectorizes each layer separately and disables the fill style and only sets the stroke color to the color of the shape produces 'holes' if shapes are too small (try to increase 'blur' parameter) does not work well with photos (use 'Overlap' algorithm instead) produces larger vector files compared to 'Overlap' algorithmĮach color of the input image is vectorized to a seperate layer.
produces 'holes' if shapes are too small (try to reduce colors) does not work well with photos (use 'Merged Layers' instead) + each shape has an area of at least 10px 2 See isometric view to see difference.Įach color of the input image is vectorized to a seperate layer and shape borders are calculated in a way that neighboring shapes share the same curve points to produce non-overlapping shapes. Same as 'Overlap' algorithm, but the parameter 'overlap' has value FULL, instead of HIGH. vector output quality depends of color order (try reordering color circles below) produces overlapping shapes (try 'Individual Layers' if you need non-overlapping shapes) Upper layers are combined with lower layers to create smooth overlapping shapes.
Layers are stacked in the the order of the output color circles. Algorithm 'Overlap': ( default algorithm )Įach color is vectorized to a seperate layer.
