How do I interpolate colors
Another way of doing the same maths is
Out = C0 + (C1-C0) * t
Where t = 0 to 1
And as SiCrane said , you have to treat the R,G,B parts separately.

Linear interpolation of each RGB component is the most straightforward, and the results are often acceptable.
If you need a 'better' interpolation, you can convert the RGB colour to HSV, interpolate the HSV, and convert back to RGB for display.

really? just interpolating the rgb elements separately will do it? I thought there was more to it.
If the colors are similar, then just interpolating the components is
probably acceptable. If the colors are very different, it's a different
story. There is no "right" way to interpolate from red to blue, you have
to decide what sort of intermediate colors you want.
