Wouldn't it be easier to get the "transitional" look using Photoshop's Gradient tool? Once you choose your starting and ending colors, you can use a linear gradient and adjust the midpoint to your liking.

Select the text, then shrink the selection so only the letterforms are selected. Then use the Gradient tool to apply the gradient.
