Color.Hex.Interpolate

Interpolate between two hex colors by a given percentage

DaxLib.SVG.Color.Hex.Interpolate( startHexColor, endHexColor, percentage )
Parameter Type Required Description
startHexColor STRING The starting hex color (e.g., "#FF0000")
endHexColor STRING The ending hex color (e.g., "#0000FF")
percentage DECIMAL The interpolation percentage (0.0 = startColor, 1.0 = endColor)

STRING Interpolated hex color code

DaxLib.SVG.Color.Hex.Interpolate("#FF0000", "#0000FF", 0.5)
// Returns: "#800080" (purple)
