It uses a simple formula like below: // 4: blend var color3 = [ (1 - percentage) * color1[0] + percentage * color2[0], (1 - percentage) * color1[1] + percentage * color2[1], (1 - percentage) * color1[2] + percentage * color2[2] ]; (see: https://colorplay.tiddlyhost.com/#Color%20Scheme%20UI%20with%20Stripe) other properties like alpha value can be added.
