Change the gradient color default back to how it used to be

Was literally about to write a post about how annoying this is. I make a red rectangle and when I hit gradient I obviously want it to be from red to zero - not red to a random darker shade of red. Seems like a total downgrade for no apparent reason. Hope its fixed

Not necessarily? Gradients aren’t always used to mimic alpha masks

Hey All, thanks for the feedback and sorry for the frustration!

We’ve passed your feedback onto our gradients team for consideration and future improvement.

A post was split to a new topic: Frame to Shape

I was looking for a similar topic because I simply can’t understand the UX decision behind this new gradient creation feature. It’s incredibly annoying. Here are my thoughts:

Why would I need a randomly added darker shade for my gradient? I’d prefer to have control over my process instead of giving me the answer which 99% I don’t even need.

For me as OP described creating a gradient from a color is more commonly done by zeroing out the source color’s opacity.

Dear, Figma Team!

How are you doing about this annoying feature? It it still there and still annoying as hell. Please bring back old Solid-Gradient behavior - same solid color but one with 0 opacity!!
