We will be using a palette of 7 gray shades to color the watch. The gray shades will all have a very slight purple cast. Once we create the palette, you can use the Color Picker (the eyedropper) in the Color Editor (Ctrl e) to sample the colors. This will save you the task of entering the values each time we use one of the colors.
Create two small rectangles. Apply a fill of HSV 265, 10, 255 to the first rectangle and HSV 265, 50, 40 to the second rectangle. Create a 5-step Blend. Add the A-G text characters to help you identify the correct colors. TIP: Another way to do this is to select each color, press the yellow tag icon in the Color Editor, and Name each of the colors A through G. The colors will appear on the screen palette. Your choice.
Delete the smaller light purple circle that was used as a guide for the tick marks. Apply a diagonal Linear fill using colors C and B. Drag the ends of the fill path arrow as shown to make the fill diagonal.
Create a Conical fill for the watch case and the small dials. To add additional colors to the Conical fill path arrow, double click on the fill path. The watch is beginning to look like a watch!
Apply a Linear fill to the stop and start buttons and to the button shafts. For the bottom button and shaft, drag the ends of the fill path arrows until the fill looks like the example above. Colors A and F should be close together on the fill path arrow to create a shiny effect.
