All,

A colleague has created the following legend in ArcPro from a polygon dataset using unique values, so this is not a raster colour ramp. We simply turned off border display and change a legend property to reduce the gaps between the patches to zero.

Ahhhh! I did not have the layer selected in the legend in the TOC, so that option did not appear.

Nice one, thank you so much! Here is a well deserved virtual 🍺.
