Gradient corresponds to a Gradual variation of color or lighting. The word comes from French gradient, and can be translated as that which degrades, which fades away.
A color gradient is the subtle shift from a dark tone to a lighter tone. Or it could also be the transition from one color to another. For example, the blue color weakens until it merges with the yellow, which gains strength and reaches a stronger shade of yellow at the other end.
In lighting, the gradient effect is when the lights go out slowly, not abruptly.

Gradient nails are a way of decorating the manicure and follow the same change of tones, from a darker base to a lighter nail polish, or mixing colors. The technique is made with sponges so that the different shades of nail polish used are not noticed in the final work.
Gradient cut
The hair or beard gradient is a traditionally masculine style of haircut, also called the American gradient. It is based on the passage of full hair on top of the head to the sides slightly shaved, slightly reducing the length of the hair up to the height of the ears. The same idea follows in the beard, from the fullest goatee to the shortest hairline near the ears.
Ombre and Gradient
Ombré is a French word for shading, and is often used in fashion, as is the gradient. The difference is in the color combination. The ombré applied to fashion represents the same tone that accentuates or weakens. And the gradient in fashion is the gradual change from one color to another, in which one weakens and then the other gains strength, thus harmonizing the two tones in the same piece.
