Blend and mix colors like a pro with Pixlr’s Free Color Mixer. Use advanced blending modes to enhance textures, recolor objects, or create vibrant overlays. Perfect for designers and creators.
Color blending refers to the process of combining colors from different layers in an image to create a seamless and cohesive visual effect. By using blend modes like Soft-Light, Overlay, or Color in Pixlr Editor, colors from a top layer interact with those on the base layer, adjusting tones, lighting, and contrast to produce unique results.

Pixlr’s Color Blender makes it easy to create stunning visuals by blending colors naturally and creatively. Whether you want to enhance textures, recolor objects, or add dynamic lighting effects, Pixlr’s blend modes offer powerful yet simple solutions. These tools are perfect for designers and creators looking to achieve cohesive and vibrant designs with minimal effort. With Pixlr, color blending becomes an intuitive and seamless process, no matter your skill level.
The Soft-Light blend mode is ideal for creating smooth, natural color transitions. It gently combines the colors of the top and base layers, enhancing highlights and shadows without losing texture details. Darker colors in the top layer will create soft shadows, while lighter colors brighten the base layer, resulting in a natural look. Use it to apply soft tones or subtle lighting effects selectively, such as warming up skin tones in portraits or enhancing light in landscapes.
The Overlay blend mode is perfect for adding bold contrast and vibrancy to your images. It works by darkening the darker areas and brightening the lighter areas of the base layer, amplifying the overall contrast and making colors pop. This mode is ideal for creating dynamic, high-impact visuals that retain texture and detail. Overlay is particularly effective for making textures stand out, adding drama to lighting, or enriching colors in photography.
The Color mode allows you to recolor specific areas of an image while preserving its texture and brightness. By applying the hue and saturation of the top layer to the base layer, this mode is perfect for changing the color of objects, creating thematic edits, or unifying tones in an image. For instance, you can change the color of clothing, vehicles, or backgrounds to match a particular theme or branding requirement. This mode is ideal for creating color-coordinated designs.
The Exclusion blend mode creates unique, high-contrast effects by subtracting colors from the base layer. It works by combining the colors of the top and base layers in a way that produces unexpected, often surreal results. This mode is perfect for creating artistic, abstract visuals or experimenting with color contrasts. Use Exclusion to blend bold gradients or add a creative twist to simple designs, making them stand out with a distinctive, dream-like quality.
The Screen blend mode is a great choice for lightening and brightening colors in your images. It works by inverting the top layer’s colors and multiplying them with the base layer, resulting in a lighter and more luminous look. This mode is perfect for enhancing highlights, creating dreamy effects, or adding vibrancy to dull areas. Use Screen to emphasize light sources in photos, such as the glow of a sunrise or reflections on water. By applying gradients or solid colors selectively, you can create glowing transitions.
