Dithered gradients are now available in the latest 30.0 general build.
Toggle the option in the Gradient or Control panels.
Read more about it in this help article.
As stated there, important notes are:
- Dithered gradients follow the resolution set in Document Raster Effect Settings. In fact, this dithering is a raster-based effect, same as Gaussian Blur. It should stay live as long as you keep Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities option enabled (be mindful of this when you save your work in a PDF).
- Dither at the moment works only with gradient fills, not strokes
- Gradients added to CC Libraries don’t support Dither — PDF format know nothing about dithered gradients as a concept, it’s something only Ai does
Note also, that some clipboard managers or extension would interfere in copy/pasting these, similar to how it happens with perceptual gradients, as reported here.
Please test it and comment…

The 29.1 general release now allows to add gradient and pattern swatches into color groups.
I think this is a good idea. I would like to add that it should also have an option to toggle back and forth between integer and continuous.
Because Illustrator doesn't have an option for sampling post-effect colors, I sometimes like to place keys somewhere between two existing keys, because this creates a new color that is interpolated that much between the two colors.
Having to eyeball 50% or 25% between two keys is very difficult, and it would be much nicer to have a way of snapping on input instead of afterwards. Changing the location after placing the key keeps the color and moves it, instead of resampling the gradient for the color I actually wanted.
