Mix colors visually by blending RGB or HEX values. See the resulting color and get all color codes.
| Model | Type | Primary Colors | Used In |
|---|---|---|---|
| RGB | Additive | Red, Green, Blue | Screens, digital |
| CMYK | Subtractive | Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key | Printing |
| RYB | Subtractive | Red, Yellow, Blue | Traditional painting |
This tool uses additive (RGB) mixing. For physical paint mixing, results will differ because paint uses subtractive color mixing.
Screens emit light (additive: R+G+B = white). Paint absorbs light (subtractive: mixing all colors approaches black). Red + Blue on screen = magenta; in paint = purple.
HEX uses 6 hexadecimal digits to represent RGB. #FF0000 = red (FF=255 red, 00 green, 00 blue).
Select two or more colors and their proportions. The mixer shows the resulting color blend in real-time with HEX, RGB, and HSL values.
RGB mixing: Result_R = Ξ£(Color_R Γ Weight) / Ξ£(Weights). Same for G and B channels. This is additive mixing (light). Subtractive mixing (paint) requires different models.
Mixing red (#FF0000) and blue (#0000FF) 50/50: Digital result = #800080 (purple). In real paint, result may differ due to pigment properties.
Digital color mixing (additive/RGB) differs from physical paint mixing (subtractive/CMYK). This tool shows digital results. For real paint, always test a small sample first. Complementary colors mixed together create brownish/grey tones.
