(US English is used on this wiki, the interpolation trick you mentioned is not suitable because the Modulate shader suffers color banding (see for yourself in-game), baking the entire gradient bypasses this) |

Modulate is a shader that modulates the colors of any pixels behind it.
Description
Accepts only a $basetexture and this texture will be used to modulate pixels. Multiplies the color behind it with this surface's texture.
Also accepts $no_draw.
Tip:This can be effectively used to fake various features that Source may not support, such as vertex coloring or lightmapping on models, by creating a surface above the first one to modulate it.Warning:Expensive if multiple are used together.
