mixing color

I have two colors. I need to add the R, G, & B components and return a new color. I am having trouble.

How do you store the colours? And how do you want to mix them?

well simply do
int r, g, b;
r = color1.R +color2.R .....
same with g and b


then check to see if any of the new r g b values exceed 255. If so, set them to 255

There is THREE ways of handling oversaturated colours. Clamping, scaling, and clipping...;)

This is actually what I tried before posting. The properties are read only.

Yes but you can create a new color from the new numbers and use that.

yes just add the values to integer variables as I said (int r, g, b;)

then do Color newColor = Color.FromArgb (0, r,g,b);

Thx Mr Polite. I missed that function. It only has the r,g,b args, no alpha.
1000 appreciations.
