Gradient not blending properly

I'm always working with these two colors which blend together well. However, when I try to make a gradient with the two, I get this faded white right in the middle of the two colors. But when I use the blend option, it works and looks just how I want it to.

I could just always use the blend option but it's just a couple extra steps compared to using the gradient tool which is much easier to use and manipulate. Am I doing something wrong with the gradient tool? Or is this just how it works?

Hi!
I Just had the same issue and googled for a solution and came across this post. It caused me to ask in the office if anyone knew the answer. This worked for us: make sure all your colour swatches used to make the gradient are CMYK and not a mixture of CMYK and Pantone. I swapped my Pantone swatches to CMYK and the gradient worked perfectly.

Hi,

In my environment there is no difference between blend and gradient. I think there are some problems in your environment.
