Once you’ve selected your Presets and Type options, you need to choose
the basic gradient look that you want to use or modify. You'll find these
basic looks just below the Presets area.

Sometimes, you will you’ll find a preset gradient that works great as-is, and
doesn’t require any changes. Other times, you might pick something close,
and then customize it using the options in the window.

There’s no ‘correct’ option to choose. It’s simply a matter of picking the
basic look that matches what you want to see on your slide.

Customizing Gradient Colors

When the preset samples aren't exactly what you need for your slide, you
can customize them by changing the Colors.
Within the Colors pane you'll see the Colors Bar. This bar has two markers
on either side, called Color Stays. These Color Stays tell the gradient how
to change from one color to the next.

Let's create sample gradient to see how this works. Begin by defining the
Presets and Type for the gradient. Set the Preset to Simple and the Type
to Linear.
From the Gradient Samples area, select the option that looks like a gray
box.
