Question

Given two colors and n steps, how can one calculate n colors including the two given colors that create a fade effect?

If possible pseudo-code is preferred but this will probably be implemented in Java.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Divide each colour into its RGB components and then calculate the individual steps required.

oldRed = 120; newRed = 200; steps = 10; redStepAmount = (newRed - oldRed) / steps;  currentRed = oldRed; for (i = 0; i < steps; i++) {    currentRed += redStepAmount; } 

Obviously extend that for green and blue.
