About graf1x.com

graf1x.com is an educational resource dedicated to color theory, color mixing, color psychology, and color meaning. We create original educational posters, interactive color tools, and in-depth articles for artists, designers, educators, and anyone curious about the science and art of color.

Our Original Poster Art

Our color theory posters are original educational artwork, designed and created in-house. These posters cover color wheels, color mixing guides, color psychology charts, color names references, and the elements of design. They are available as printed wall art for classrooms, studios, and homes.

Interactive Color Tools

We build free, zero-dependency interactive color tools that run entirely in your browser — no accounts, no tracking, no external APIs. Our tools include the RYB Color Mixer (the only online mixer that uses subtractive paint-mixing math), an Interactive Color Wheel with RYB and RGB modes, a searchable Color Names Browser with 7,000+ named colors from seven source systems, a WCAG Color Contrast Checker, an Image-to-Palette Extractor, a CSS Gradient Generator, a Color Blindness Simulator, and a Random Palette Generator with named colors.

We believe color education should be interactive, visual, and accessible. Rather than presenting color theory as text to be read, we build tools that let you explore color through experience — mixing, browsing, comparing, and experimenting. All our tools are client-side, fast-loading, and work on any device.

Color Database Methodology

Our Color Names Browser is powered by a database of over 7,000 named colors compiled from seven authoritative sources. Learn how we built it, how colors are classified using the ISCC-NBS scientific system, and how canonical names are selected in our color database methodology page.
