Hex Color Mixer

Mix two HEX colors online, adjust the blend ratio, preview stepped color mixes, and copy the HEX, RGB, or CSS color-mix result.

Blend Steps

Use the Mix For

Hover and Pressed Colors

Create hover, pressed, and selected colors by blending a brand color with white, black, or a surface color.

Color Ramps

Generate stepped colors for charts, badges, and component states.

Brand Blends

Preview how two brand colors combine before using them in gradients or campaign artwork.

How the Blend Is Calculated

The mixer blends red, green, and blue channel values in sRGB. This is useful for digital UI work, but it will not match physical paint mixing or print ink behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the color mixer calculate the result?v

It blends the red, green, and blue channels from each color according to the selected ratio, then converts the result back to HEX and RGB.

Can I use the output in CSS?v

Yes. Copy the HEX or RGB value for broad compatibility, or copy the color-mix expression when your target browsers support it.

Is this the same as mixing paint?v

No. This mixer blends screen color channels for digital design, so it is best for websites, apps, design systems, and CSS output.

What do the blend steps show?v

The steps show fixed ratios between the two colors, which helps when creating token scales, chart ramps, or hover-state variations.

Using This Tool Reliably

Control checks

Choose the base colors and options shown in the tool, then compare the preview against the exported CSS, HEX list, or downloaded file before using it in a project.

Generation logic

The browser derives the displayed palette, gradient, or mix from the selected color values and keeps the preview tied to the same generated output.

Example workflow

Start with a known brand or UI color, adjust the generated result, copy the useful output, then check important text and button states for contrast.

Common mistakes

Avoid exporting colors before assigning roles, reusing decorative accents as text colors, or assuming a generated palette is accessible without checking real foreground and background pairs.
