I think you can create a gradient color by adjusting the alpha value in the above code.

gradient.colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id)[[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor],(id)[[UIColor colorWithRed:255/255.0 green:239/255.0 blue:215/255.0 alpha:0.1] CGColor],nil];

I was able to get a gradient effect by doing so.
