Kevin Powell | A deep dive into CSS color-mix() @KevinPowell | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Another feature making its way in from preprocessors like Sass, we can now mix colors in CSS!
In this one, I go over the basics of how it works, look at how we can play with the percentages, what happens when the percentages are below 100% total, how the different color models work, and how we can mix colors in different directions (which doesn’t sound like it should be a thing, but it is 😅).
I also take a very quick look at how we can create color schemes by using color-mix() as well, to help show a little bit of a more practical example of it in action.
