How does the color mixing algorithm work?

Our color mixer uses RGB color space arithmetic to blend colors mathematically. The formula calculates the weighted average of red, green, and blue values based on your chosen ratio. This ensures precise, predictable results that match how digital displays process color mixing.

Can I mix more than two colors at once?

Currently, the tool supports mixing two colors at a time. However, you can achieve multi-color blends by mixing the result of your first blend with a third color, creating complex, layered color combinations.

What color formats does the tool support?

The tool primarily uses hex color codes (#RRGGBB format) for input and output, as these are the most commonly used in web design. We also display RGB values for technical precision and color science applications.

Will the mixed colors look the same on all devices?

Mixed colors are calculated using standard RGB values, which should appear consistently across devices. However, individual display calibration may cause slight variations. For print applications, use our RGB to CMYK converter for accurate print matching.

Are there any limitations on color combinations?

You can mix any two valid hex colors. The tool will handle extreme contrasts (like black and white) and very similar colors gracefully. If you enter identical colors, the tool will prompt you to choose different colors for meaningful results.

How accurate are the color mixing results?

Our color mixer provides mathematically precise results using industry-standard RGB blending algorithms. The accuracy is perfect for digital applications. For print work, remember that RGB-to-CMYK conversion may introduce slight variations due to different color spaces.

How it works: Blends two colors by linearly interpolating their RGB values at the specified ratio. Adjust the slider to control how much of each color contributes to the final mix.
