How to Mix Two Colors Online

To mix two colors, open the color mixer, set color A and color B, then drag the ratio slider to control how much of each goes into the blend. The result updates live with a copy-ready hex.

Why the blend looks clean

The obvious way to mix colors is to average their red, green and blue numbers. The problem is that this path often dips through dull greys, so the midpoint between two bright colors can look muddy.

This mixer blends along a perceptual path instead. It keeps the in-between colors looking natural, so a mix of orange and blue passes through believable browns and muted tones rather than a flat grey. You get the color a person would expect from combining the two.

Reading the ratio

The slider sets the balance:

• All the way left is pure color A.
• All the way right is pure color B.
• The middle gives each color equal weight.

The label shows the split, such as 70 percent A and 30 percent B, so you can land on an exact mix and copy it.

When to mix versus build a scale

Mixing is right when you want one specific in-between color, like a midpoint between two brand colors or a blend that bridges two sections of a design.

When you instead need a whole run of a single color, from light to dark, the shades and tints generator builds that even scale in one go. And if you are choosing which two colors to combine in the first place, the color harmony generator suggests hues that already work well together.
