Complete Guide: Color Blend Calculator
Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively
The Color Blend Calculator mixes two colors at a specified ratio to produce a blended result. You pick two colors and set the blend percentage (0% is pure first color, 100% is pure second color). The tool outputs the blended color in hex, RGB, and HSL formats with a visual preview. All processing happens in the browser.
This tool interpolates between two RGB colors using linear blending. At each blend step, it calculates R = R1 + (R2 - R1) x ratio, and similarly for G and B. The ratio ranges from 0 to 1, representing the mix between the two input colors.
Creating gradient stops
Find the midpoint color between two gradient endpoints to add a smooth transition.
Designing hover states
Blend a button color with white to create a lighter hover effect.
Mixing paint colors
Approximate what two paint colors look like when mixed at different ratios.
Generating color variations
Create lighter and darker versions of a base color by blending with white or black.
Pick two colors
Use the color pickers or enter hex codes for both input colors.
Set the blend ratio
Use the slider to choose how much of each color to mix.
View the result
The tool shows the blended color with its hex, RGB, and HSL values.
Copy the result
Copy the blended color value for use in your design.
Blending with white creates tints. Blending with black creates shades.
A 50% blend gives the true midpoint between two colors.
Use this tool to create consistent hover and active states for UI elements.
For realistic paint mixing, HSL interpolation sometimes looks more natural than RGB.
How does color blending work?
The tool uses linear interpolation between the RGB values of the two input colors. At 0% you get the first color. At 100% you get the second. In between, it calculates a weighted average.
Can I blend more than two colors?
The tool blends two colors at a time. To blend multiple colors, chain the results: blend A and B, then blend the result with C.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Nothing is transmitted.
What formats are shown?
The blended result is shown in hex (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r, g, b)), and HSL (hsl(h, s%, l%)) formats.
Is this the same as mixing paint?
Not exactly. RGB blending simulates light mixing (additive). Paint mixing is subtractive and follows different rules. The tool provides a close digital approximation.
