The Gradient Bearing and Surface Normal options for viewing a fractal
texture are offered for purely aesthetic reasons. One way to take advantage of
them is to create color variations of the texture with the Adjust Colors
feature.
To colorize a fractal pattern, you can replace the grayscale tones with colors
from a gradient fill by using the Express in Image feature. For information,
