There will be a different though when you go from green to transparent red. With a premultiplied gradient, the color in the middle is green with 50% alpha. (The red is ignored) With a non-premultiplied gradient, the color in the middle is rgba(127, 127, 0, .5)Received on Friday, 1 February 2013 18:36:17 UTC
