There are 2 thing to be covered in IE

For IE10+:

background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #1e5799 0%,#207cca 27%,#2989d8 50%,#207cca 79%,#7db9e8 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #1e5799 0%,#207cca 27%,#2989d8 50%,#207cca 79%,#7db9e8 100%); /* W3C */

For IE6-IE9:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#1e5799', endColorstr='#7db9e8',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */

I think it will be easy for you to replace the color codes. I would also suggest you to take a look at ColorZilla for generating the CSS Gradient.
