Creating and editing a smooth color blend
You can choose several options for blending the shapes and colors of objects to create a
new object. When you choose the Smooth Color blend option in the Blend Options dialog

stroked with different colors, the steps are calculated to provide the optimum number of
steps for a smooth color transition. If the objects contain identical colors, or if they con-
tain gradients or patterns, the number of steps is based on the longest distance between the
bounding box edges of the two objects.
