About ColorMix
Last updated: August 2026
ColorMix is a small collection of color tools for designers, illustrators, and creators. Three tools, one philosophy: they should load instantly, run locally, and respect your privacy.
What we believe
Local-first. Your images, your colors, your work — none of it leaves your device. We use the HTML5 canvas, FileReader, and Web Storage APIs. No servers, no upload, no analytics on what you're working on.
No signup, no watermark. Tools should be tools, not lead funnels. We make money from ads, not from friction. Every feature is free, every export is watermark-free, every workflow works without an account.
Small, sharp, useful. Most color tools are bloated with features 90% of users never touch. We focus on the 10% that get used 90% of the time, and make them really good.

ColorMix is built on the shoulders of giants. The From Image tool uses a classic median-cut quantization algorithm (Heckbert, 1982). The Generator uses a curated set of mood-based color theory heuristics. The Contrast Checker implements WCAG 2.1 relative luminance.
