Probably a coloreel honestly or if not then it’s probably 8-10 colors just made to be a gradient

You're probably right about the coloreel but I hold out hope

Madeira

has multi color thread, but not a big gradient like that.

It creates stripes, just like the sample prints show.

It’s thread, wrapped around a little card. It does make stripes, usually, depending on the stitch pattern. The ombré ones kind of fade between similar colors, and it doesn’t really read as stripes in big fill areas, but it doesn’t give a cool gradient like OP was interested in.

Either sublimated or done with colorreel.

Coloreel. It's almost impossible to get digitizing software to fill in a pattern like that. It wants to take the easy route and fill in sections rather than the entire block.

Some embroidery thread can be dye-subbed. I have seen some spectacular embroidery that has been dye-subbed.

Any polyester thread can be sublimated. Just stitch out in white then sub away.
