Description
Describe the problem
Banding is present in our texture based iridescence features and gradient features:
Describe the solution you'd like
Would be good to have an option in the GT/Standard and GT/Standard Canvas shaders to remove banding via a technique like this: Removing Banding in Linelight | pixelmager.github.io
Means we can use compressed textures and not worry about banding as much.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Use uncompressed textures or deal with banding.

Start by locating the GT/Standard and GT/Standard Canvas shaders named in the issue, then read the linked Removing Banding in Linelight article. Done means both shaders offer a banding-reduction option that improves texture-based iridescence and gradient features while supporting compressed textures.
