Color Blending

If you understand software applications such as Photoshop, Flash and other drawing applications, I know you are also familiar with the swatches. Swatches contain selection of different colors that you can use during the creation of your web design, graphic design, and animation. Let’s talk about the Color Blender.

This Color Blender allows you to take two colors and see blends of up to 10 different ones from which you can get their HTML Hex codes.

How can you do it? It’s easier than you think. First, pick a color value format, input two valid CSS color values in the format you select, and pick the number of midpoints you’d like to see. The palette will show the colors you input as well as the requested number of midpoint colors and the values of those colors.

All numbers are rounded to the nearest integer. When you click on a square in the "waterfall" display, it will fill in the appropriate value for whichever input is highlighted. When you switch between value formats, it will translate whatever values are in place. Clicking on the "Clear" button removes all values and colors, but does not change the current value format.

Graphic art professionals and web developers can now experiment in the color combinations in their projects thus, making them more creative and innovative in their line of work.
