gradated
Blended by degrees
Gradated describes something arranged in a series of gradual, successive stages or degrees.
Colors may be gradated from light to dark, or sizes gradated from small to large.
The term implies a smooth progression rather than abrupt changes between steps.
The artist gradated the blue tones across the canvas to create depth.
As the past tense of the verb gradate, it means arranged or caused to change by degrees.
