Regarding Color Converter

Question

Hi I have a requirement like this. If i have two colors say Yellow and black then i need the other color with these color combinations. Is there any way in GDI+ to convert two colors into one color. Thanks in advance.

There are many methods for blending colors. I'd pick what you want to blend first. Note that simulating pigment blending is very different from blending rgb colors.

You could code something like this and don't use the ColorConverter class. Because that class only converts datatypes. public class ColorUtil { private ColorUtil(){} public static Color MergeColor(Color color0 Color color1) { int r g b; r = color0.R + color1.R; g = color0.G + color1.G; b = color0.B + color1.B; return Color.FromArgb(r g b); } } The code... ColorUtil.MergeColor(Color.Red Color.Blue); Should return a purple color.

I have coded some thing like this Color clr; clr = Color.Yellow; int rgb = clr.ToArgb(); Color clr1; clr1 = Color.Black; int rgb1 = clr1.ToArgb(); ColorConverter clrconv = new ColorConverter(); int newclr = rgb+rgb1; Color newColor; newColor = (Color)(clrconv.ConvertFromString(newclr.ToString())); so my newColor is holding the new color. But the end result is not so satisfactory. So please help me on this if you have any other ideas.

I don't think the framework offers a pre made solution for this. So why don't code a converter yourself? It shouldn't be very hard to calculate a new color from two others.
