Chemfig and tikz: shaded arrow

How can I make these arrow shades, for example to blue from white?

Building upon Sebastiano's answer, one can also apply the path fading option directly to chemfig arrows as shown in the following example:



enter image description here



documentclass{article}
usepackage{chemfig}
usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
usetikzlibrary{fadings}

begin{document}

begin{figure}[!htb]
centering
scalebox{2}{
schemestart
chemfig{@{O1-2}textcolor{gray}{O}=@{C1-2}textbf{C}=@{O2-2}textcolor{gray}{O}}
schemestop
chemmove{
draw[blue, path fading = west][shorten <=3pt, shorten >=3pt](O1-2).. controls +(north:1cm) and +(120:1cm).. (C1-2);
draw[blue, path fading = east][shorten <=3pt, shorten >=3pt](O2-2).. controls +(north:1cm) and +(60:1cm).. (C1-2);
}
}
end{figure}

end{document}

    A possible solution with tikz-cd it is very simple to have the arrows shades to blue from white.



    enter image description here



    documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
    usepackage{tikz-cd,amsmath}
    usetikzlibrary{fadings}
    begin{document}
    begin{tikzcd}[column sep=.7cm]
    color{gray}{mathrm{O}}
    arrow[r, equal, no head] arrow[r, bend left=49, blue, path fading=west] & mathbf{C} arrow[r, no head, equal] & color{gray}{mathrm{O}} arrow[l, bend right=49, blue, path fading=east]
    end{tikzcd}
    end{document}

      +1. Maybe you want to add, that path fading can also be applied to chemfig arrows. Using draw[blue, path fading = west][shorten <=3pt, shorten >=3pt](O1-2).. controls +(north:1cm) and +(120:1cm).. (C1-2); ... will result in the following output: i.stack.imgur.com/YMnc8.png
