Color Mixing Tool: What Colors Make What?

Our color mixer uses RGB averaging to simulate the mixing of colored light. For each color, we take the RGB values and calculate the average between the two colors. This method provides a realistic representation of how light colors combine.

No, there are differences between digital color mixing and physical paint mixing. Digital colors use the RGB (additive) color model, while paints use the CMYK (subtractive) model. Our tool provides a good approximation, but real-world paint mixing may produce slightly different results due to pigment properties and light reflection.

Absolutely! All color codes generated by our tool are free to use in your designs, websites, art projects, or any other creative work. Simply copy the HEX or RGB values and use them in your preferred design software or code.

Yes, we provide detailed articles on color theory in our Learning Center. Topics include color psychology, color harmonies, RGB vs CMYK color models, and practical applications of color theory in design. Visit our Color Theory page to learn more.

Paint mixing follows the subtractive color model, while digital colors use the additive model. Additionally, paint pigments have unique properties that affect how they mix. Our tool provides a general guide, but factors like pigment quality, opacity, and the exact shade of your paints will influence real-world results.
