ramp shader
A ramp shader, or color gradient, is a type of Deko500 shader,
used to apply color to a detail. You specify the colors at the four
corners of the detail, and Deko500 creates the ramp by
interpolating those colors across the interior of the detail. Ramp
shaders have an optional highlight color, which produces a line
across the ramp.
