Photoshop Gradient Overlay Troubleshoot

Whenever I attempt to use a Gradient Overlay on my Background the colors I am applying to the Gradient do not match the colors being presented on my Background layer. I should mention I am designing Text with its own Gradient Overlay, I believe Photoshop is confusing my texts gradient overlay with the background gradient overlay, how would I go about fixing this issue? Its been bugging me all day and I cant move past it, I know it has to be a simple fix that im just not seeing!
