Depends. As written, it seems like you intend the gradient to go blue-green-black, but just wrote the colors out of order. Did you intend to write "blue 50%"? Or did you really mean for blue to be 20% between green and black (that is, 44% down from the top)? >> I don't like it at all. > > Mine was simpler. Heh, possibly. Possibly not. If a % means different things based on whether it's used in a terminal color-stop or a middle color-stop, then it's much more confusing. ~TJ
