To select all objects that use the same blending mode, select an object with that blending mode, or deselect everything
and choose the blending mode in the Transparency panel. Then choose Select > Same > Blending Mode.

Gradients

Use gradient fills to apply a graduated blend of colors as you would apply any other color. Creating a gradient fill is a
good way to create a smooth color gradation across one or more objects. You can save a gradient as a swatch to make
it easy to apply the gradient to multiple objects.

Note: if you want to create a single, multicolored object on which colors can flow in different directions use a mesh object.
