Select all three letters. Select the gradient tool (or hit "g" on your keyboard). Click the mouse near the top of your letters and while holding the button down drag it down to the end of the letters. If you hold the shift key while dragging it will be perfectly horizontal.

click on the little color square on the gradient slider and then you can enter your values in the color palette. Don't click on the Fill or the Stroke symbol on the color palette and the color in the gradient should change to whatever you enter there. Sorry -not on main computer right now so I can't post a screen shot.

you can also drag a swatch from the swatch pallete directly onto a stop point or anywhere along the gradient
