gradient
You'll need to rephrase slightly to fit this in, but I feel confident this is the term to use — cf. for example the terminology used in Adobe Photoshop.
'a gradient between two colours' — where they mix in the middle, you (may) get an ugly (grey) mess!

layered
Seems to be using "dégradé" in the hairdressing sense (!)
Layered, as opposed to woven in your previous question.
Obviously, context is needed.

I agree more context would be helpful though.

In reference to the second of my suggestions, one would need to say 'colours brought into juxtaposition (or mixed) in graduated tints'.

fade/fading into each other
Have a look at some of the captions on these images (especially the blue-green one on the right). Not sure if this is exactly right for your context; just a suggestion,
