I've watched a few tutorials on using Inkscape to recreate a water drop on a leaf or flower petal. Some look more realistic than others.
My question is, Is there a method that Inkscape can be used to pickup an underlying color, for the dark or shadowy color of a gradient, instead of it having to be picked or selected by the user?
Translucency is a great feature, it is just tied to a specific user selected color. This would allow a water drop to be moved and it take on the color underneath. It would also, be nice to set a global light source for highlights and shadows to conform. I know this is more for 3D rendering and photorealistic applications.
Luminosity picked up the underlying color, My water drop just looks like a pearl of the underlying color.
Setting each object to Luminosoty blend mode and the containing layer object as Overlay is the closest, color match, now just the crispness of the shape and slight magnification.

I‘d try „Blend modes“ in this case:
Oh, I was really hoping it would be that easy.
Changing the blend mode on each path, and of the group as a whole, did change to look, just not to what I am seeking.
My translucency settings at the gradient stops do not take on the underlying color.
