Perceptual 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:
- You won’t be able to expand a perceptual gradient into a gradient mesh
- Gradients added to CC Libraries don’t support this interpolation method — PDF format know nothing about it as a concept, it’s something only Ai does. The same reason prevents these to be exported as live gradient into PDF or SVG formats.
Note also, that some clipboard managers or extension would interfere in copy/pasting these, as reported here.
Please test it and comment back — this will help to improve this further.

Gradients have always been poor in Illustrator. If you look closely you will often see banding and weird inconsistencies. For higher quality gradients I've always been advising people to use Photoshop. In many cases this means a lot of extra work and sometimes it's pretty much impossiple to rebuild like when using gradients mesh.
Adobe should be aware of this for... decades!

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…

Gradients have always been bad in Illustrator. If I need accurate gradients, I sometimes redo them in a rasterized file in Photoshop, which gives much better results,. of course this is not exactly a solution for most cases.
It would be great to see more a higher quality gradient in future versions, because it's really a strange weakness for such a developed piece of software.

That is a nice tip, but to why can't they fix this in Illustrator itself? It is such a basic functionality. I don't understand why there's no priority for this, while it could make RGB artwork look so much better.
