I think Mix is slightly misleading in the mix description. It's been too long to change the name entirely but I know a lot of people assume fully mixed should be the average of the two whereas it's actually interpolating between the two.
Perhaps "Mix from A to B" or "Interpolate between A and B" accurate?

Use interpolate as suggested.

+1 from me. I would accept this but since I don't really have the knowledge of these options to back it up, I don't think I should.
