11-step gradient

How to Use This Tool

  1. Set Color A and Color B with the hex inputs or color pickers.
  2. Drag the Mix ratio slider to choose what proportion of Color B to mix in.
  3. Read the blended hex and rgb() in the result panel.
  4. Browse the 11-step gradient below for any intermediate shade.
  5. Click the copy icon to copy the blended hex.

What Is a Color Blender?

Color blending is linear interpolation in sRGB space. Given colors A and B and a mix ratio t between 0 and 1, the result is `out = A × (1 − t) + B × t` applied independently to each RGB channel. At t = 0 you get pure A; at t = 1 you get pure B; at t = 0.5 you get the perceptual midpoint.

Designers use a blender to find a third brand color halfway between two existing ones; engineers use it to step a UI accent between hover and active states; chart designers use it to interpolate a series between two anchor colors.

The blender shows the midpoint plus an 11-step gradient strip so you can pick any intermediate notch at a glance. Linear sRGB blending is a reasonable approximation for most colors but can dip through muddy mid-grays when mixing complementaries — for perceptually smoother blends, try the gradient generator with an oklab interpolation hint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the blend calculated?
Linear interpolation in RGB space: out = a × (1 - t) + b × t, where t is the mix ratio (0 = pure first color, 1 = pure second). Each channel is blended independently.
What is the ratio slider for?
It sets t — the proportion of the second color. 50% gives a balanced mix; lower values bias toward the first color, higher values toward the second.
When is color blending useful?
Finding the midpoint between two brand colors, matching an in-between shade you've seen elsewhere, or stepping a gradient one color at a time.
