How It Works

Additive mixing combines light wavelengths (RGB). Red + Green = Yellow, Green + Blue = Cyan, Red + Blue = Magenta.

Subtractive mixing simulates pigment behavior (CMY). Cyan + Yellow = Green, Yellow + Magenta = Red, Cyan + Magenta = Blue.

Average mixing blends colors naturally by averaging their RGB values, giving more weight to colors with higher weights.

Averaging two colors together in the most obvious way doesn't produce the same result a genuine blend mode would, multiply darkens toward the shared color, screen lightens, and each mode actually changes what an in-between shade ends up looking like rather than there being one single correct way to combine two colors. This tool mixes two or more colors together using adjustable blend modes, generating a new palette that reflects the specific blend chosen rather than a single fixed averaging method.

Useful for creating a genuine in-between shade from two brand colors for a smooth gradient, exploring how two colors blend differently under several photo-editing-style blend modes for a design effect, or generating a small palette of intermediate shades between two anchor colors for a gradient design.

Quick answers for Color Mixer

What blend modes are available?
Additive (light-mixing, like combining RGB light beams), Subtractive (pigment-style mixing using the CMY model), and Average (a weighted mean of the RGB values), each using genuinely different math rather than the same formula relabeled.
Can I weight colors differently in the mix?
Yes, each color has its own weight slider from 0.1 to 10, and the final blend is calculated using those weights rather than a simple unweighted average.
Is there a way to see the mix proportions visually?
Yes, a preview strip sizes each color's segment according to its weight, shown right above a swatch of the final mixed result.
