How can I force a gradient to be a specific color at the edges of a selection?

[dkaksl]

I'm trying to make a gradient in a square that necessarily reaches my desired color at the edges (not necessarily exactly at the edges, although not outside them).

 

The radial mode is almost doing what I desire, but I need the inverse.

 

So basically, is there a way to invert the gradient tool's radial setting?

 

Is there a way to force a gradient to reach a specific color at a specific point / selection / area within a selection?

So, what you're saying is that you kind of run out of room when making a gradient so you cannot finish at the colour you wanted?

Here, look into this plugin. You  may find it useful.

You want to swap the colours used? Use right click instead of left click to draw the gradient.

dkaksl, you can also swap your primary & secondary colours. Pipped to my first response by MikeRobe

There is also a plugin called Gradients Galore here - http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/24769-gradients-galore-moveable-version-now/ with a lot of fine tuning abilities.

Oh I see. It was that simple.
