You can make your own gradients (copy an existing one and edit it if you 
need something close):


http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-gradient-dialog.html#gimp-gradient-editor-dialog

(an undocumented feature (discussed here not so long ago) of this dialog 
is that you can drop colors on it...: on end point handles (black 
triangles) to change the colors for that endpoint, and on the display, 
to add a new endpoint with that color on both sides.

In the Blend Tool options, you can set the gradient to FG to BG
