How does the color blending calculation work?

The calculator converts both hex colors to RGB values, then uses linear interpolation to blend them. For each RGB component (red, green, blue), it calculates: result = color1 × (1-ratio) + color2 × ratio, where ratio is the blend percentage converted to decimal.

Can I blend more than two colors?

This tool blends exactly two colors at a time. For more complex color mixing, blend the result with a third color, or use design software like Adobe Color or Figma for multi-color blending.

What color formats are supported?

The tool accepts standard 6-digit hex color codes (like #FF6B6B or FF6B6B). It automatically adds the # symbol if missing and validates the format as you type.

Is the blending mathematically accurate?

Yes, the tool uses precise RGB color space calculations. The results are mathematically correct for digital color mixing and will match results from design software and programming libraries.

Can I use this for print design?

While the tool works in RGB color space (digital), the mathematical approach is similar to CMYK color mixing principles. For professional print work, consider consulting with a color specialist.

Does it support alpha/transparency blending?

Currently, the tool blends solid colors only. Alpha channel blending would require additional parameters and is planned for future updates.

How it works: Blends two HEX colors by linearly interpolating each RGB channel. At 0% the result is Color 1, at 100% it is Color 2, and at 50% it is an equal mix. The formula is: R = R1 × (1 − ratio) + R2 × ratio.
