Answer 1

Although this may only be suitable for block color backgrounds, I thought I'd add it here (as I was learning I found that 'cutting the arrow out' was also an option). I started with a rectangle and 'cut the corners out' to create this:

.arrow {
  height: 200px;
  width: 300px;
  background: rgb(169, 3, 41);
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(169, 3, 41, 1) 0%, rgba(143, 2, 34, 1) 44%, rgba(109, 0, 25, 1) 100%);
  background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, rgba(169, 3, 41, 1)), color-stop(44%, rgba(143, 2, 34, 1)), color-stop(100%, rgba(109, 0, 25, 1)));
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(169, 3, 41, 1) 0%, rgba(143, 2, 34, 1) 44%, rgba(109, 0, 25, 1) 100%);
  background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(169, 3, 41, 1) 0%, rgba(143, 2, 34, 1) 44%, rgba(109, 0, 25, 1) 100%);
  background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(169, 3, 41, 1) 0%, rgba(143, 2, 34, 1) 44%, rgba(109, 0, 25, 1) 100%);
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(169, 3, 41, 1) 0%, rgba(143, 2, 34, 1) 44%, rgba(109, 0, 25, 1) 100%);
  filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#a90329', endColorstr='#6d0019', GradientType=0);
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  transition: all 0.8s;
}
.arrow:before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  width: 70%;
  height: calc(100% - 80px);
  border-top: 40px solid white;
  border-bottom: 40px solid white;
  z-index: 10;
}
.arrow:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  border-top: 100px solid white;
  border-bottom: 100px solid white;
  border-left: 100px solid transparent;

  background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, rgba(30, 87, 153, 1)), color-stop(50%, rgba(41, 137, 216, 1)), color-stop(51%, rgba(32, 124, 202, 1)), color-stop(100%, rgba(125, 185, 232, 1)));

.arrow:hover .perc {
  width: 100%;

Let's not forget those who prefer Jsfiddle's instead

It would also allow for a gradient colouring
