Color Mixer - Blend Two or More Colors with RGB, HSL, LAB

Color Mixer: Blend Two or More Colors Online

Color Mixer is a free online tool that blends 2 to 5 colors into a single mixed shade. Pick your colors, set how much each one contributes, and watch the result update instantly in HEX, RGB, and HSL.

It is built for designers refining a brand palette, artists mixing digital paint, and developers choosing the exact UI shade between two values. Because you control the ratio of every color and the blending algorithm, you get a precise, repeatable mix instead of guesswork.

Private by design: all color mixing runs entirely in your browser. Your colors and ratios are never uploaded to any server.

How to Mix Colors

Set your colors

Click a color preview to open your system picker, or type a HEX value such as #FF6B6B straight into the input. You can also load a ready-made combination from the Color Palettes list.

Adjust the ratios

Drag each color's slider to change how much it contributes; all ratios always add up to 100%. Use a Ratio Preset like 50 - 50, 30 - 70, or Equal for a one-click split.

Choose a blend mode

Switch between RGB for standard screen mixing, HSL for natural hue transitions, or LAB for perceptually smooth blends. The mixed color recalculates as you switch.

Copy the result

When the mix looks right, click the copy button next to the HEX, RGB, or HSL value to send it straight to your clipboard.

Features

Three Blend Modes

Mix in RGB for linear screen color, HSL for circular hue blending, or LAB for perceptually uniform, natural-looking results.

Mix 2 to 5 Colors

Start with two colors and add up to three more. Each color has its own ratio slider, and the totals always normalize to 100%.

Curated Color Palettes

Browse ready-made combinations that update to match your color count: 2-color palettes for two colors, 3-color for three, and so on.

Gradient Preview

A live gradient bar transitions through every selected color so you can see how the colors flow into one another.

Mix Steps

With two colors, see nine intermediate shades from 10% to 90%. Click a step to set that exact ratio, or hover to read its HEX value.

Swap & Reset

Swap the first two colors to flip the blend, or reset everything back to the default colors, ratios, and RGB mode in one click.

Ratio Presets

Apply common two-color splits like 50-50, 30-70, 70-30, or 25-75, plus an Equal preset that divides ratios evenly across all colors.

Copy HEX, RGB & HSL

Read the mixed color in three formats at once and copy whichever you need: HEX for the web, RGB for CSS, or HSL for design tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color do you get when you mix two colors?

Set both colors, adjust their ratios, and the Mixed Color panel shows the blended result in real time. Mixing red and blue in equal parts, for example, lands on a purple in RGB mode. The exact shade depends on the ratios and the blend mode you pick.

What's the difference between RGB, HSL, and LAB mixing?

RGB averages the red, green, and blue channels — simple and great for screen colors, though complementary pairs can look muddy. HSL blends hue, saturation, and lightness, taking hue around the color wheel for cleaner transitions. LAB mixes in a perceptual space modeled on human vision, so the result tends to look the most natural. Try all three to see which you prefer.

Can I mix more than two colors and set a ratio?

Yes. Click Add Color to mix up to 5 colors at once. Every color has its own ratio slider, and the tool keeps all ratios adding up to 100%. Remove any color with its X button to drop back down.

Is this like mixing paint (RYB) or screen color (RGB)?

This tool mixes in additive screen models — RGB, HSL, and LAB — which match how colors combine on a display. That differs from subtractive paint mixing (RYB), where pigments absorb light, so blue and yellow make green. For digital design, the RGB and LAB modes here give the values you will actually use in CSS and design software.

Why do mix steps disappear with 3 or more colors?

Mix steps show the transition between exactly two colors at different ratios. With three or more colors there is no single line of steps, so the tool shows the gradient preview instead to visualize the full blend.

Does it output HEX, RGB, and HSL?

Yes. The mixed color is shown in HEX, RGB, and HSL at the same time, each with its own copy button. Copy HEX for the web, RGB for CSS, or HSL for design tools.

Is my data saved or uploaded?

No. Every mix happens locally in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. Colors are not stored between sessions, so copy or bookmark any HEX values you want to keep.
