I can't get the links to work, am I doing something silly?

Oh, yes you can, Andrew, but the Color Gradient isn't the way to achieve what you want to do. Use the Pattern Function Gradient instead. Here's how:
In the color channel ...
Color: Operators: Mixer -- Source One: First Color -- Source Two: Second Color ----Blender: Operators: Curve Filter (new feature in C3!) -- ---Shader for Blender: Pattern Functions: Gradient -- ---- --(Set Gradient for Horizontal, zero Turbulence.
Now click on the graph icon for the Curve Filter and create any sort of curve you want. You can have full control of how the colors map onto the sphere.
If you would like to see some ways to use the new Color Gradient, I prepared a page which shows a couple of ways I've used it and shows the full shader tree which you are welcome to copy:
