How to reuse an existing gradient in Photoshop?

I'm using Photoshop CS5.5 and I have a gradient that I need to find the exact colors for.

Is there any way to do this?

    This is -first- time I've answered a Q with 'I don't know exactly.' LOL!!! But I do know how to point you in the right direction.

    The reason I can't answer it -exactly- is that I don't have enough experience with creating raw gradients I just eyeball them to what I need. But you mentioned 'exact colors' which is why this Q interests me.

    I -can- tell you how to -look- at the gradient you have, to know how to recreate it.

    That pic is a little imprecise though. The top-left and top-right corners have some color, but the top-center is pure white. Regardless, you'll understand what I'm saying...

    I looked with eyedropper at the pixels in the top-left and bottom-right corners. They turned out to be 255 255 204 and 51 51 0.

    So, if you can google about how to build a gradient using those exact numbers, you will end up with a gradient that matches that pic.
