7-colour gradient

I'm translating a manual for a coloured lamp that is "7-coloured gradient" and brightness and speed adjustable.
I think it has to do with the deepness of the colours. But I don't know if I can translate it with "7 färggradienter". Is that a correct translation?

gradient med 7 olika färgkombinationer
En gradient kan ju bara ha två färger, så det går antagligen att välja gradient från sju olika färger.

: "7 colored gradient"??? A gradient cannot be "colored". Besides, there should be a hyphen, like in source.

u may disagree but in which case you~ll be disagreeing with the site itself which is mentioned in my r4emarks and it is an original Swedish site.

: A disagree is always about your answer, nothing else. It could be wise to use a lower grade than 4 (or maybe you are convinced the reference is correct?). A hyphen should also be used in your answer.

Reference:
In normal usage, the gradient itself is made up of multiple colors, so it would be something like "gradient med 7 färger" (definitely not "7 färggradienter", since a gradient by definition always contains at least two colors). Color deepness (saturation) would usually be "färgmättnad". You'll probably need to know the exact meaning here to be able to translate it.

"7 färgmättnadslägen", perhaps - if saturation is involved.
