The blend tool pretty much blends in the direction of the stitch using either linear or exponential spacing that you control. Stitch direction changes(small) affects the blend very rapidly. With what you are trying to accomplish, you may not want to use the blend tool. It may be that creating multiple fills and using the "random edge" tool will give you better control over the blending look you want. Density control and overlapping two fills, one yellow and one red, for the center and using random edge for both edges and then for the left and right yellow and red fills, use random edge one or two depending on which direction you want the blend to go. By overlapping the left and right fills over the center fills and playing with it , you can achieve the blend I think you are describing. For the center fills you might even try using the "blend" tool with one reversed on top of the other and using the radom edge at the same time to achieve the center blend. It takes lots of experimenting .....
