How do I show increasing gradient in hline and vline in gr. For example, here is some code

```julia
pl = plot( xlim = (0,5),ylim = (0,5), legend = false )
vlcolor = palette([:lightgreen, :green],5)
hlcolor = palette([:lightgray, :black],5)
vline!(1:4, color = vlcolor[1:4],line = (3,.9,:dot))
hline!(1:4, color = hlcolor[1:4],line = (2,.9))
display(pl)
display(vlcolor)
display(hlcolor[1:4])
savefig("plot")
savefig("plot.pdf")

```

I want darker ones to the top and to the right. So, if I have another plot to the right with increasing x values, the “xgrid” would continue to get darker. Similarly, if I have a plot on top of it.
