Gradients can be used to enhance and control texture maps.
Vertical Gradient Baking
The Dota2 Character Art Guide describes how to bake a vertical gradient into the diffuse, to emphasize depth and create focus.

Gradient Remapping
Gradient remapping is a method to replace the colors of a texture using 1D gradients, for more variation.
