About Color Mixer

The Color Mixer blends two colors into each other and shows every step in between. Pick a start color and an end color, choose how many intermediate shades you want — up to ten — and the tool computes the full transition instantly, both as individual swatches and as a smooth gradient preview.

Two blend modes control how the mix is calculated. RGB interpolates each channel in a straight line, which is predictable and neutral, while HSL travels around the color wheel, keeping the in-between steps more saturated and vivid. Swapping the two endpoints or rolling random colors takes one click.

All mixing happens in your browser with no server involved. It is a handy way to answer questions like "what color is halfway between blue and orange", to build stepped color ramps for charts, or to grab a CSS gradient between two brand colors.

How to use Color Mixer

  1. Choose a start color and an end color with the pickers, or click "Random colors".
  2. Set the number of in-between steps, from 1 to 10.
  3. Pick the blend mode: RGB for a linear mix or HSL for a hue-preserving mix.
  4. Click any shade to copy it, or use "Copy all" for the whole ramp.
  5. Use "Copy CSS gradient" to grab the transition as a ready-to-paste gradient.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Mixing colors is free and unlimited — the tool runs completely in your browser without any account, credits or server processing.

RGB blending interpolates the red, green and blue channels directly, which can pass through gray when mixing opposite hues. HSL blending rotates around the color wheel instead, so the intermediate steps keep their saturation and look more colorful.

Set the step count to 1. The single in-between shade is the midpoint of the blend. Use RGB mode for the numeric average of the two colors, or HSL mode for the perceptual midpoint along the hue wheel.

Yes — a stepped blend between two endpoint colors is exactly how sequential color scales for charts and heatmaps are built. Generate the steps, click "Copy all", and paste the values into your charting library’s color array.

You can generate from 1 to 10 in-between shades, which together with the start and end colors gives you up to 12 swatches. Each one can be copied individually in your preferred format.
