@csstools/postcss-color-mix-function
Advanced tools
@csstools/postcss-color-mix-function is a PostCSS plugin that allows you to use the CSS `color-mix()` function in your stylesheets. This function enables you to mix two colors together, which can be useful for creating color themes, gradients, and other visual effects.
Mixing Two Colors
This feature allows you to mix two colors together using the `color-mix()` function. In this example, red and blue are mixed in equal proportions to produce a purple color.
/* Input CSS */
.example {
color: color-mix(in srgb, red 50%, blue);
}
/* Output CSS */
.example {
color: #800080;
}
Mixing Colors with Different Percentages
This feature allows you to specify different percentages for each color in the mix. In this example, red is given a 70% weight and blue a 30% weight, resulting in a reddish-purple color.
/* Input CSS */
.example {
color: color-mix(in srgb, red 70%, blue 30%);
}
/* Output CSS */
.example {
color: #b3004d;
}
Using Different Color Spaces
This feature allows you to mix colors in different color spaces. In this example, the colors are mixed in the LCH color space, which can produce different results compared to the default sRGB color space.
/* Input CSS */
.example {
color: color-mix(in lch, red 50%, blue);
}
/* Output CSS */
.example {
color: #a2007d;
}

The `postcss-advanced-variables` package allows you to use Sass-like variables and functions in your CSS, including color functions. It provides a broader set of features for CSS preprocessing compared to the more focused `@csstools/postcss-color-mix-function`.
