What is Color Mixer?

The Color Mixer tool allows you to blend two colors together to create a new shade. By adjusting the mixing ratio, you can find the perfect intermediate color between two extremes. It's useful for creating color palettes, gradients, and finding the right tone for your design.

How Color Mixer works

Mix two colors together to find the perfect blend. Adjust ratios to create intermediate shades.

When should you use Color Mixer?

• When you need faster visual iteration without opening heavy design software.
• When you want consistent output for UI components, marketing assets, or web pages.

Tips, assumptions, and common mistakes
