    Hi
    I am trying to create a background image for a website. My idea is 5px wide by 900px height, and I will set it up on the page to repeat. What I am trying to do is have a maroon color that gets darker. Maroon to dark maroon in that 5px 900px image. I use paint shop pro 7 and have tried a couple of things but I am not getting the results that I am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Banding?

    Play around with your colour choices. Some colours work better than others (even if it's only a few hex values different), your eye probably won't see the difference, but it might create a smoother gradient.

    And use 90%+ JPEG or a PNG.
