Color Blender & Gradient Generator

About the Color Blender & Gradient Generator

Our Color Blender and Gradient Generator is a creative tool we built for designers and developers. You can use it to mix two or more colors together and see all the beautiful shades in between. It also instantly creates the CSS code for both linear and radial gradients, which you can use in your web projects. It's perfect for finding the perfect color transition or for building a complete color scheme from a few starting colors.

How to Use the Tool

• Start by choosing your colors. You can type in a HEX code or use the color picker for each color stop.
• Click the "Add Color" button to add more colors to your gradient for more complex effects.
• Use the "Blend Steps" slider to control how many individual color shades are generated in the palette.
• Select either a "Linear" or "Radial" gradient type.
• If you're using a linear gradient, you can change its direction with the "Angle" slider.
• The "Gradient Preview" and "Blended Palette" will update in real-time.
• When you're happy with the result, you can copy the full CSS code from the text box, or click on any individual color swatch to copy its HEX code.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is color blending?

Color blending, or interpolation, is the process of calculating the intermediate colors between two or more "parent" colors. Our tool shows these intermediate colors as a palette, which is great for creating harmonious color schemes for user interfaces, data visualizations, and artwork.

What is the difference between a linear and a radial gradient?

A linear gradient creates a smooth color transition along a straight line. You can control the direction of this line with the "Angle" setting. A radial gradient, on the other hand, transitions outwards from a central point in a circular or elliptical shape.

How can I make a good-looking gradient?

A great tip is to choose colors that have a similar brightness and saturation, or to pick colors that are next to each other on the color wheel (analogous colors). You can also create beautiful, subtle gradients by mixing a main color with a slightly lighter or darker version of itself.

Can I add more than two colors to my gradient?

Yes, you can! Just click the "Add Color" button to add as many color stops as you need. This allows you to create much richer and more complex gradients, like a rainbow or a sunset effect.

Is my work private on this tool?

Yes, completely. This tool runs entirely in your web browser. All the color calculations and gradient generation happen on your own computer. We never see or store any of the colors you choose or the gradients you create.
