Privacy details

Color mixer processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Mix two colors by channel

The slider sets the second color’s share. Channel mode blends the stored sRGB values; linear-light mode first removes the sRGB transfer curve, blends light, then encodes it again. This is a screen-color mix, not a paint recipe.

A worked example

An equal channel mix of #FF0000 and #0000FF gives #800080. Linear-light mixing gives a brighter #BC00BC.

Before you use the result

Only opaque sRGB colors are accepted. Pigments, lighting and printers mix differently.
