To the right, we now see a dramatic change in our Color tab – we've given up some dialog real estate to this new section in the middle. This rectangle is a simple depiction of our gradient, and since we haven't changed anything, it's still all black. The upward-pointing triangles underneath allow us to determine where a color begins to change toward the next color in the gradient. The red triangle is our selected point, where we can change the color, so lets change to Azure2. | To the right, we now see a dramatic change in our Color tab – we've given up some dialog real estate to this new section in the middle.

Given sufficient time and patience, you could play around with the Color tab in Properties to figure out how to change line and fill colors. Admittedly, it's takes more time and perhaps a lot more patience to understand how the gradients feature is used. Here we try to give you a head start on this.
On To the Gradients
More Gradients
Here is what these other choices for the various types of gradients look like, all without changing our colors or relative positions.
