What does this tool do?
Color Mixer blends two colors and generates a palette of the in-between HEX shades. You pick a start and end color, and the tool computes evenly spaced transition colors between them. It is perfect for designers and developers building gradients, transitions, and harmonious color scales.
How to use it
- Adjust the values and options.
- See the result in the live preview.
- Copy the generated CSS/code into your project.
How it works
The tool linearly interpolates between the RGB components of your two colors and produces intermediate values based on the number of steps you choose. For example, picking five steps between #FF0000 and #0000FF yields a series of purple shades moving from red to blue. Each shade is given as HEX so you can copy and use it directly.
Common use cases
Use it to build a smooth gradient from a brand color to a secondary color, to generate sequential color scales for data visualization, and to find intermediate tones for hover and active states. It is also a great exploration tool for quickly seeing how two arbitrary colors blend together visually.
Frequently asked questions
Are the colors mixed in RGB or HSL?
The blend is done linearly across RGB components, which most closely matches how CSS gradients behave. Some midpoints may look slightly muddier than an HSL blend would produce, which is expected.
How many intermediate shades can I generate?
You can set the step count to fit your needs: fewer steps give distinct stops, while more steps give an almost continuous gradient. For a typical palette, 5 to 10 shades is usually enough.
