Sketch tip: Easy gradients with blend modes

Hi all! Here's a quick tip I've been using for a few years making it super simple to create gradients from a color.

Just make your color of choice a solid fill and apply a b/w gradient on top with a blend mode of overlay/soft light. You can adjust the opacity of this fill to adjust gradient intensity. Then to change the color just tweak the solid fill. It's super quick and you can try different colours easily and don't have to open the gradient picker.
