Step 1: First, you’ll need to create a document with the dimensions in the picture below

Step 2: Then create a new layer on top of the initial one, and fill it with any color. After you make your fill, take the rectangle marquee tool and make a box like below:

Step 3: With your new box, fill it in with any color you want, select Gradient Overlay under the blending options for the layer. You’ll want to set the Gradient Overlay to the settings below.

then press delete

Now, select the Rounded Rectangle Tool , and make your selection like below:
