Presets
sRGB mixing is the CSS color-mix() default. Linear mixing accounts for gamma correction and produces more accurate light blends. Oklab mixing is perceptually uniform — midpoints look visually equidistant from both colors.
Why Use Our Color Mixer?
Instant Color Mixing
Blend any two colors in real time as you adjust the ratio slider. Switch mixing modes and see the result update immediately — no button to click.
Secure & Private
Your colors are mixed 100% client-side in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to a server, so you can safely work with brand colors and proprietary palettes.
Three Mixing Modes
Choose sRGB (CSS standard), Linear (gamma-corrected), or Oklab (perceptually uniform) mixing. Each mode produces different visual results for the same ratio.
100% Free Forever
Completely free with no signup required, no usage limits, and no ads blocking the interface. Mix colors as many times as you need.
Common Use Cases for the Color Mixer
Brand Color Blending
Mix primary brand colors to generate secondary and tertiary palette colors. Use the gradient preview to find the exact midpoint that matches your brand guidelines.
UI Design & Theming
Create hover states, disabled states, and tinted backgrounds by mixing your primary color with white or black at different ratios. Export results directly as CSS values.
CSS color-mix() Preview
Preview how the CSS color-mix() function will blend two colors before writing the code. The sRGB mode matches the CSS default mixing space exactly.
Palette Generation
Generate smooth color gradients between two anchor colors for data visualizations, charts, and heatmaps. The 11-step gradient preview shows the full range at a glance.
Photo Editing & Retouching
Calculate the exact blend color needed to match a target tone in photo editing. Use Oklab mode for perceptually accurate color blending that matches human vision.
Accessibility & Contrast
Mix foreground and background colors to find a midpoint that improves readability. Use the result with a contrast checker to verify WCAG compliance.
Understanding Color Mixing
What is a Color Mixer?
A color mixer blends two colors at a configurable ratio and outputs the resulting color in multiple formats. Unlike a simple average, color mixing can be performed in different color spaces — each producing visually different results. Our color mixer supports three mixing modes: sRGB (the CSS standard), Linear (gamma-corrected), and Oklab (perceptually uniform). All mixing runs instantly in your browser with no server upload required.
How Our Color Mixer Works
- Enter Two Colors: Type any HEX or RGB value into the color inputs, or use the native color picker. The color mixer accepts any valid CSS color format.
- Set the Mix Ratio: Drag the slider to set how much of each color to include. 50% gives an equal blend; 25% gives 75% Color 1 and 25% Color 2. Click any step in the gradient preview to jump to that ratio instantly.
- Copy the Result: The mixed color is shown in HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV formats with one-click copy buttons. Use the gradient preview to explore the full range between the two colors.
The Three Mixing Modes Explained
- sRGB Mixing: Interpolates directly between the sRGB channel values (0–255). This matches the CSS
color-mix(in srgb)function and is the most predictable mode for web development. - Linear Mixing: Converts colors to linear light (removes gamma encoding) before mixing, then re-applies gamma. This produces more physically accurate results for light blending — midpoints appear brighter than in sRGB mode.
- Oklab Mixing: Mixes colors in the Oklab perceptually uniform color space. Midpoints look visually equidistant from both input colors, avoiding the muddy browns that appear when mixing complementary colors in sRGB. Best for design work and palette generation.
- Output Formats: The mixed color is always returned in HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV. All values are rounded to the nearest integer for clean, copy-paste-ready output.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Color Mixer
A color mixer blends two colors at a configurable ratio and outputs the resulting color in HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV formats. Our color mixer supports three mixing modes — sRGB, Linear, and Oklab — and runs entirely in your browser with no server upload required.
sRGB mixing interpolates directly between channel values and matches the CSS color-mix() default. Linear mixing removes gamma encoding before blending, producing brighter midpoints. Oklab mixing uses a perceptually uniform color space, so midpoints look visually equidistant from both input colors — the best choice for design work.
Drag the ratio slider between 0% and 100%. At 0% you get 100% Color 1; at 100% you get 100% Color 2; at 50% you get an equal blend. You can also click any step in the 11-step gradient preview to jump to that ratio instantly.
Absolutely. All mixing calculations run 100% client-side in your browser. No color data is ever sent to any server, so you can safely work with proprietary brand colors and confidential design assets.
The color mixer accepts HEX (#RGB, #RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r, g, b)), and HSL (hsl(h, s%, l%)) values. You can also use the native color picker to select any color visually.
In sRGB space, mixing complementary colors often produces muddy or brownish midpoints because sRGB is not perceptually uniform. Switch to Oklab mode to get a more visually pleasing purple midpoint when mixing red and blue.
Yes. The sRGB mode matches color-mix(in srgb, color1 X%, color2) exactly. The Linear mode matches color-mix(in srgb-linear). The Oklab mode matches color-mix(in oklab).
Yes. The tool is 100% free with no signup required, no premium tier, and no usage quotas. Mix colors as many times as you need directly in your browser.
