Frequently Asked Questions
How does color blending work?
Color blending calculates intermediate colors between two endpoints by interpolating each channel value. For RGB blending, the red, green, and blue channels are each interpolated linearly. For HSL blending, hue, saturation, and lightness are interpolated, which can produce more perceptually uniform transitions.
How many intermediate steps can I generate?
You can generate anywhere from 1 to 50 intermediate steps between your two colors. More steps create smoother transitions. For gradient-like effects, use 10-20 steps. For a simple midpoint blend, use 1 step. Each step shows its HEX, RGB, and HSL values for easy copying.
What is the difference between RGB and HSL blending?
RGB blending interpolates red, green, and blue channels linearly — this can produce dull or unexpected intermediate colors when the two endpoints are far apart on the color wheel. HSL blending interpolates hue, saturation, and lightness, often producing more vibrant and intuitive in-between colors.
Can I use the blended colors in CSS?
Yes — every intermediate color is displayed with its HEX, RGB, and HSL values, all valid CSS. Copy individual colors or the entire set. The blended colors are also useful for creating multi-stop CSS gradients with precise control over transition points.
Why do I get gray or muddy colors when blending?
Blending colors on opposite sides of the color wheel (like red and green) in RGB mode passes through gray or brown midpoints. Switch to HSL blending mode to go around the color wheel instead, producing vibrant intermediate hues rather than desaturated blends.
