Set of 36 Gradient Color For Photoshop Designers

Gradient colors are used everywhere in graphic designs, web designs as a backgrounds, buttons and in other elements. Today I found good collection Phoroshop gradients on various websites when i was making a tutorial on New Year wallpaper. I decided to share this collection with all designer community they can get help for their designs. There are big variety of many color generators, color palettes and things like that, but not many really focus on Photoshop gradients. I really love gradients, many beautiful websites and logos are created just by using color variations in subtle, very creative way. Now I am listing here downloadable gradients for designer community hopefully they will like and use this.

Official Adobe Website - Gradient Section


I really don't know why, but this section doesn't seem to be very popular, it's DeviantArt where you can find really beautiful Photoshop resources and actually just everything else too design related. Anyway I found on this site many gradients worth downloading anyway, they have most recent, most popular and highest rated sections to sort out really outdated and not so good looking gradients.
