🧪 Color Mixer

Color mixing on screen is additive: colors are blended by averaging their RGB channel values, weighted by the mixing ratio. A 50/50 mix of red (#ff0000) and blue (#0000ff) produces the midpoint #800080 — a medium purple. This is fundamentally different from subtractive mixing (paint, ink) where the same red and blue would produce a much darker, murkier result, because pigments absorb rather than emit light.

The ratio slider lets you find any point between two colors — not just the midpoint. A 10% mix leans heavily toward the first color with just a subtle influence from the second. This is useful for creating tints (mixing with white), shades (mixing with black), or finding a precisely weighted blend for a specific design purpose.

How to use: Set your two colors and adjust the ratio slider. The result updates in real time. Click the result swatch or the "Explore" button to open the mixed color's full PIGMENTUM page — with its name, all 12 color formats, similar colors, and accessibility data.
