Few months ago, one evening, I was sitting in TV lounge of our home and watching some TV program. My niece came to me and asked in her soft voice "How to know what color is made by mixing any two colors?". I said "mix any two colors and you will know". She said "No! Without mixing any colors". I tried to find and give some answer to my niece but had no idea.

Therefore instead of answering, somehow, I went into thoughts and started thinking how to give a useful answer to my niece. During same thinking session I wondered why not I make an application for my niece for solving this problem. An application in which my niece can mix any two colors to get the resulting color.

After getting this idea I started making the above mentioned application in c#. I made more than one version of the application to test the look and feel of different type of user-interface and code-logic. The version of the above mentioned application I am sharing/discussing here is n-layer based.

Following are some screen-shots of the above mentioned application I made in c# for my niece.

Application's preview.

[Application How to Use]

For selecting new color click "Choose color A" and/or "Choose color B" in menu "Action/Select colors/[Choose color A | Choose color B] or in toolbar "Choose color A | Choose color B" or in form right of "Select color" and under "Color A" and/or "Color B" boxes.

For randomly select new "Color A" and/or "Color B" click in menu "Action/Random colors/[Method 1 | Method 2]" or in toolbar's "Random color" part "Method 1" and/or "Method 2".

"Method 1" generates randomly new values for "Color A" and "Color B" and constant value "50%" for 'Color blend %" for "Color A" and "Color B". "Method 2" generates randomly new values for "Color A", "Color B" and "Color blen %" values for "Color A" and "Color B".
