Click twice on the first rectangle to enable rotate/skew mode and drag any of the rounded arrow control handles to randomly rotate the rectangle. Repeat this for the other two rectangles.

Click on the rounded rectangle with the Fill Tool (F5) to select it then drag diagonally from the top right corner to the lower left corner to apply an intuitive Linear fill. Click on the fill path arrow twice with the Fill Tool to add 2 new colors a little distance above the bottom screw. Change the colors to the RGB colors shown on the left. The two added color points should be close to each other but not too close.

If you need help editing colors see Workbook 20 - Editing Colors.
