¿Cómo hacer un código Qr de color degradado en LaTex?

Question

Estoy usando el paquete qrcode y sé cómo crear códigos qr de colores lisos:

\usepackage{qrcode}[]

\color{azul}{\qrcode[altura=7cm]{código qr del sitio}}

pero quiero hacerlo con colores degradados, ¿cómo hacer esto? Esto es lo que quiero:

Puedes utilizar la solución deaquíy use el comando de código qr en lugar de texto como entrada para el fadingtextcomando recién creado

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{qrcode}[]
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{fadings, shadings}
\newcounter{fadcnt}\setcounter{fadcnt}{0}
\newcommand\fadingtext[3][]{%
\stepcounter{fadcnt}
  \begin{tikzfadingfrompicture}[name=fading letter\thefadcnt]
    \node[text=transparent!0,inner xsep=0pt,outer xsep=0pt,#1] {#3};
  \end{tikzfadingfrompicture}%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(textnode.base)]
    \node[inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt,#1](textnode){\phantom{#3}}; 
    \shade[path fading=fading letter\thefadcnt,#2,fit fading=false]
    (textnode.south west) rectangle (textnode.north east);% 
  \end{tikzpicture}% 
}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\newbox\shbox
\tikzset{%
  path picture shading/.style={%
  path picture={%
%
\pgfpointdiff{\pgfpointanchor{path picture bounding box}{south west}}%
  {\pgfpointanchor{path picture bounding box}{north east}}%
\pgfgetlastxy\pathwidth\pathheight%
\pgfinterruptpicture%
   \global\setbox\shbox=\hbox{\pgfuseshading{#1}}%
 \endpgfinterruptpicture%
\pgftransformshift{\pgfpointanchor{path picture bounding box}{center}}%
\pgftransformxscale{\pathwidth/(\wd\shbox)}%
\pgftransformyscale{\pathheight/(\ht\shbox)}% \dp will (should) be 0pt
\pgftext{\box\shbox}%
%
    }
  }
}
