How to fill a shape with two colors with a varying ratio using TikZ?

Question

I want to fill a TikZ shape/node with two colors that are spitted horizontally and be able to adjust the ratio between them like as follows (similar to a loading bar):

I tried to modify this example that uses shading but the rendering is different and always produces some color mixing:

is there something else required -- would you like to accept the answer — js bibra, Feb 23 '21 at 07:17

\documentclass[tikz, margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{shadows,shadings,shapes.symbols, calc}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[my node/.style={draw, cloud, cloud ignores aspect, }]
         \node[my node] (a1)  {Text};
\end{tikzpicture}


\begin{tikzpicture}[fill fraction/.style n args={2}{path picture={
            \fill[#1] (path picture bounding box.south west) rectangle
            ($(path picture bounding box.north west)!#2!(path picture bounding box.north east)$);}}]
\draw (4, 0) node[cloud, cloud ignores aspect,draw,fill=blue, fill fraction={green}{0.7}] {Some
    other text};

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

EDIT

The long text spoils the shape of the cloud so an edit

\documentclass[tikz, margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{shadows,shadings,shapes.symbols, calc}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[my node/.style={draw, cloud, cloud ignores aspect, }]
         \node[my node] (a1)  {Text};
\end{tikzpicture}


\begin{tikzpicture}[fill fraction/.style n args={2}{path picture={
            \fill[#1] (path picture bounding box.south west) rectangle
            ($(path picture bounding box.north west)!#2!(path picture bounding box.north east)$);}}]
\draw (4, 0) node[cloud, cloud ignores aspect,draw,fill=blue, fill fraction={green}{0.7}] {text};

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

results in
