Examples

// standard method to allocate a color for an image
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00);
$yellow = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00);

// this will allocate an average of our two previously allocated colors
$orange = imageblendedcolorallocate($im, $red, $yellow);

// yes, we do support alpha if you want to use transparent or translucent colors
$opaqueBlack = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0);
$translucentBlack = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 63);
$blendedBlack = imageblendedcolorallocate($im, $opaqueBlack, $translucentBlack);

// by default we do a 50/50 blend where we average the red, blue, green & alpha values for each color
// we also support non-50/50 blends
$blue = imagecolorallocate($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF);
$cyan = imagecolorallocate($im, 0x00, 0xFF, 0xFF);
$blendedMostlyCyan = imageblendedcolorallocate($im, $blue, $cyan, 0.25); // 25% blue, 75% cyan
$blendedEvenly = imageblendedcolorallocate($im, $blue, $cyan); // 50% blue, 50% cyan
$blendedMostlyBlue = imageblendedcolorallocate($im, $blue, $cyan, 0.75); // 75% blue, 25% cyan
