Mix two colours to get a third

Mixing two colours together to find the one that sits partway between them is genuinely useful for building palettes, finding a visual midpoint, or softening a bold brand colour by blending it with a neutral. This mixer blends any two colours at any ratio you choose and gives you the resulting HEX and RGB values, complete with a live preview so you see the blend before you commit. It is a small piece of colour arithmetic that is awkward to do in your head.

Why the ratio matters

Mixing two colours is not always a simple even fifty-fifty blend. Setting a ratio lets you find a colour that leans strongly toward one of the two inputs, say ninety per cent of a base colour with just a touch of an accent mixed in, or a perfectly even blend right in the middle. The result is computed by interpolating between the two colours across each of their channels, which means you can produce a whole smooth gradient of intermediate colours between any two, not merely the single central midpoint.

Copy the result

It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded and the generated code is yours to paste straight into a project. Because it works client-side, you can iterate freely, regenerating as often as you like without a round trip to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does mixing two colours work?

By interpolating between their colour channels at the ratio you set, producing a colour that sits between the two inputs.

Can I control how much of each colour?

Yes. The ratio lets you lean the result toward one input or blend them evenly, producing any intermediate colour between the two.

What formats does it give?

The resulting HEX and RGB values, with a live preview so you can see the mixed colour before copying it.

What is it useful for?

Building palettes, finding a midpoint between two colours, and blending a brand colour with a neutral to soften it.

Is my input uploaded?

No. The mixer runs entirely in your browser.
