🎨 Understanding Color Mixing
Color mixing is fundamental to digital design, allowing you to create new colors by blending existing ones. This tool supports multiple color formats used in web development.
🌈 Color Formats
🔸 HEX Format
#RRGGBB
Red, Green, Blue values in hexadecimal
Most common in web design
00-FF range per channel
🔹 RGB Format
rgb(r, g, b)
Red, Green, Blue values in decimal
0-255 range per channel
CSS standard format
🔸 HSL Format
hsl(h, s%, l%)
Hue, Saturation, Lightness
More intuitive for humans
Based on color wheel
🔹 Named Colors
red, blue, green, etc.
Predefined color names
140+ standard names
CSS named colors

💡 Color Mixing Tip: When mixing colors digitally, the result is the weighted average of the RGB values. A 50/50 mix of red (#FF0000) and blue (#0000FF) produces purple (#800080), which is exactly the average of their RGB components.
