Question

grids with gradient colour

Perhaps someone can help me with this....

I want to create a two colour grid and distort the two colour grids simultaneously. I then want to apply separate colour gradients to each of the two grid colours. So, I will have a distorted grid where there is one set of grid lines that is a gradient of colour and a second set of grid lines that is another gradient of colour, and both will be distorted to the same shape. 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Chuck you beat me to it - but since I've just prepared the screenshots I'll post them

2 grids (made with the line tool, duplicated and Layer >Distribute) each with a gradient stroke

Then both into a smart object and distorted (I used pinch for the demo)

I eventually want to have the background as a colour gradient as well. In the past, with a one colour grid gradient, I was able to select the distorted shape by outlining it with the pen tool and then creating a new fill layer from that shape and applying a gradient. Can I do this here as well?

Yes, just put everything in the smart object.

Create the gride lines with a gradient overlay, and the fill gradient. Put all those layers in a smart object, then warp or distort it.
