Fountain Fill ISsues

Hello! I am new to using Corel Draw and I am trying to figure some stuff out.. what I'm trying to do is create a custom background fill.   

This is what I'm getting. in my custom fill settings I'm using black at the left, dark purple in the middle and purple at tthe right.

What i'm TRYING to get is something like this :

  

Any idea on why there would be such a discrepancy?  it's very frustrating. I tried switching my corel to the RGB instead CMYK colour settings but it wont let me switch it for some reason. Sigh... all I want is a pretty background without fading grey and dark rings of purple....

  • Using CMYK in X6 I'm getting something similar to you, except that my pronounced band is lighter rather than darker.

    But I can improve it slightly by spreading around the middle:

    • Add the three colours at 0, 50 and 100% positions
    • Double click at about the 45% position, but do not change the colour. Instead, drag it to the 40% position.
    • Double click at about the 55% position, but do not change the colour. Instead, drag it to the 50% position.

    You will see an improvement, though you may still not get a perfect blend. It probably depends in part on your graphics card and screen quality. But unless your background is intended for the web, the way it prints is probably more important -- and that too, I suspect, will vary from printer to printer.
