How the color mixer works

Mixing interpolates each RGB channel between the two colors at your chosen ratio — the same math CSS uses in color-mix(in srgb, A, B). The slider sweeps the full scale, so intermediate swatches double as a mini-palette between any two brand colors.

Screen mixing is light math, not paint: blue + yellow gives gray on screen (channels average out), not the green your paintbox promised — pigment mixing is subtractive, RGB is additive. For usable in-between colors, mix neighbors (blue + cyan) rather than complements.

Frequently asked questions

Why does blue + yellow make gray here, not green?

Screens mix light (additive RGB): blue rgb(0,0,255) + yellow rgb(255,255,0) averages to gray rgb(128,128,128). Paint mixes pigments (subtractive), where blue + yellow yields green. Both are correct in their medium.

What ratio should I use?

50/50 for a true midpoint; push toward one end for a tinted variant of it. The scale strip shows every intermediate step to pick from.

Is this the same as CSS color-mix()?

Equivalent to color-mix(in srgb, …) — linear sRGB-channel interpolation. (CSS can also mix in other color spaces, which shift results slightly.)

How do I make a tone (color + gray)?

Mix your color with a mid-gray like #808080 — the classical definition of toning down a color without shifting its hue.

Local processing?

Yes — instant, offline-capable, nothing transmitted.
