Additional Information

'No color' is not supported for color ramps in the drawing engine used in ArcMap.

Workaround

If ArcGIS for Pro is available, follow the steps below: 1. Right-click the layer, and select Symbology. This opens the Symbology pane on the right side. 2. Click the box under the current symbol. Select Properties, and select Layers. 3. Next to the polygon symbol, select Gradient Fill, and double-click the polygon. There are two polygons equivalent to 'color 1' and 'color 2' in ArcMap. Change the 'color 2' to 'No color'. In the Pattern group, there are options to change the direction of the gradient (Buffered, Linear etc). The symbol becomes hollow or see through.
