An aside: RGB is not a perceptually linear color space.
I recommend converting from RGB to HSL, interpolating, then converting back to RGB.
I wrote the following PHP code to generate arbitrary perceptually-correct gradients; I suggest turning it into a service which can then be called from PHP or AJAX at need.
