  We study the gluonic phase in a two-flavor color superconductor as a function
of the ratio of the gap over the chemical potential
mismatch,$\Delta/\delta\mu$. We find that the gluonic phase resolves the
chromomagnetic instability encountered in a two-flavor color superconductor for
$\Delta/\delta \mu < \sqrt{2}$. We also calculate approximately the free
energies of the gluonic phase and the single plane-wave LOFF phase and show
that the former is favored over the latter for a wide range of coupling
strengths.
