Parameters

This function has four parameters:

startcolor – is the starting color.

endcolor – is the ending color.

count – is the number of colors to include in the array.

separator – is separator between the generated colors. If this parameter is omitted, the separator will be a comma.

Description

This function generates a text array of HTML colors that gradually transition from one color to another. For example, this formula will create an array that transitions from green to blue in 15 steps.

    htmlcolorarray("00FF00","0000FF",15)

The resulting text array is:

    00FF00,00FF24,00FF48,00FF6D,00FF91,00FFB6,00FFDA,00FFFF,00DAFF,00B6FF,0091FF,006DFF,0048FF,0024FF,0000FF

Here is what this sequence of colors looks like when displayed in a Matrix Object.
