Don't give up on the gradient suggestion too soon. You could make a 
gradient strip as suggested, then superimpose a series of opaque white 
rectangles, with appropriate space in between to show the colors. 
Multiple Duplicate will allow you to make one white rectangle then 
repeat it as many times as you want.

I made a small demo entry on the wiki:
