I am a bit confused as to what the Color Gradient update entails. My first guess was that the Accessibility Checker no longer will check backgrounds with color gradients, but is that actually what it's for? I've never seen a Canvas page have a gradient in its background or anywhere for that matter, so I just wanted some background information as to why this update was of importance/priority.

Thank you!
