<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
Given that you want to visualize a smooth transition from the color red to the color blue and you need 10 intermediate colors for this gradient, how would you create and potentially plot a gradient palette using igraph in Python?
### Response:
import igraph as ig

# Create a gradient palette from red to blue with 10 colors
gradient_palette = ig.GradientPalette(color1='red', color2='blue', n=10)

# Print the gradient palette
print(gradient_palette)

# Plot the gradient palette (if working within a notebook or another graphical interface)
# This would require an appropriate plotting context, as mentioned in the API
try:
    ig.plot(gradient_palette)
except:
    print('Plotting requires an appropriate graphical backend.')
