Drawing Tools->Format->Shape Styles->Shape Fill-> Gradient-> More Gradients

Shape Fill: Gradient Stops

You can edit every aspect of the Gradient if you wish. Here is one option that has interesting results.

 

6. Try it: Edit the Gradient Fill

Please select the following.

Fill: Gradient fill.
Type: Linear.

Direction: Linear Up

 

Try This, Too: Edit the Gradient Stops

There are two Gradient stops in this example. If you slide the left stop towards the center, there will be more light color at the top of the slide. 


Go ahead, play with the Color, Brightness and Transparency. If you don't like the formatting, you can always UNDO. 

 

OK, keep going...!
