    -Create a vertical path with the curve you want.
    - Set the path to 0.2 pt or something
    - Copy the path
    - If you want a four colour gradient, copy the path four times
    - Move the paths horisontely
    - Colour your paths for highligts and shadows
    - Select the paths
    - Click with the blend tool on one simular anchor point on all the paths.
    - With your new blend still selected, double click on the blend tool
    - Choose smooth colour from the drop down.

    Voila a nice curved graded tube.

    I think freehand has a simular tool.

    Hope you can follow me.
    Peace
