shader: gradient with three colours

[PhilippL]

Hello,

Using shaders in Unity I want to achieve something like this:

The colour transition between the colours should be smooth.

Does somebody has any idea?

Thanks in advance!

I solved this problem with the specific colors: color1 = grey, color2 = black and color3 = white.
I wrote this vertex shader and attached this to the corresponding mesh.

struct vertexInput {
                float4 vertex : POSITION;
                float4 texcoord0 : TEXCOORD0;
            };

            struct fragmentInput{
                float4 position : SV_POSITION;
                float4 texcoord0 : TEXCOORD0;
            };
            

            fragmentInput vert(vertexInput i){
                fragmentInput o;
                o.position = mul (UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, i.vertex);
                o.texcoord0 = i.texcoord0;
                return o;
            }
            
            fixed4 frag(fragmentInput i) : SV_Target {
				float x = i.texcoord0.x;
				float y = i.texcoord0.y;
				float value = 1-(0.5*(1-x)+x*y);	// function for gradient behaviour
				return fixed4(value,value, value, 1-value);
            }

The key is the function f(x, y)=1-(0.5*(1-x)+x*y) which outputs the variable value. This function handles the continuous color transition of the corresponding colors. I think this code can be easily customized to work with other colors or another contrast of the colors.

I hope this answer will help you.
