I think he/she wants to do a gradient with more than 2 colours. Or use colours other than gold and white. I am not sure which one.

I'm basically trying to recreate the pattern I uploaded in my op which uses more then 2 colors to create that gradient effect both in the background (the blue) and inside the symbol (the mandela). Uhhh, basically trying to use the same colors.

For that image, not too difficult to colour in, do not expect other more complicated shapes to be easy.

Lots of clicking to make selections required. Use fuzzy select in addition mode with a zero threshold. General advice, use as many layers as required, keep everything separate. Easier to fix if you make a mistake.

That could be a basis for more colours, more blending.

Ok so I'm trying to follow your video as closely as I can... but I'm having trouble with the fuzzy select tool. The outer and circle layer of the mandela turned out fine but I'm having some trouble with the centre. I put the threshold to 0 and put the fuzzy tool in addition mode, but for whatever reason it will either select just 1 or 2 pixels at a time, or it will select everything. What am I doing wrong?
