Examples

// Allocate red and yellow using the standard method then blend the two to allocate orange
$red    = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00);
$yellow = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00);
$orange = imageblendedcolorallocate($im, $red, $yellow);

// You can also allocate RGBA colors as well as RGB
$opaqueBlack      = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0);
$translucentBlack = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 63);
$blendedBlack     = imageblendedcolorallocate($im, $opaqueBlack, $translucentBlack);

// By default, we allocate with a 50/50 blend where we average the red, blue, green and alpha values for each color but also support alternative 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
