Hi, can someone tell me if this is a gradient, a wipe or something completely different?

tpetts,

You can create this aspect in the following way, starting with two adjacent roads/original objects having a common border in the form of a path segment (together):

(1) create a black brush with forms you want to see in reversed colors / color on each side of the border.

It's the basis of your colour;

(2) select each of the paths originals and Ctrl / Cmd + C + B to create a copy behind, and then apply the fill of the other path to the copy, which will be hidden under his original copy;

(3) ShiftClick the / each segment of the common border and Ctrl / Cmd + J if more than one, to create a path of the border, and then apply the brush of 1)

This should give you a black color on top the traces of origin;

(4) select traces of origin (ShiftClick, not ClickDrag) and the path of the border, and in the transparency palette dialog box click the opacity with Clip mask and mask Invert unchecked.

This should give you the look you want, color/coloring reverse paths copy showing where the originals are hidden by the darkness of the brush border.

The colors/color may be solid, patterns, whatever.

Here's a simplified image based on a simple brush and showing two forms of original colors, and then copies below dragged a bit upward, then with the path of border brushed on top, and then the resulting color flipping.
