John,
I think it is a great idea to always load the Graphics`Colors` package. But
my routine doesn't really work quite right with your example. As first
presented, the routine assumes that the colors are both RGBColors. Here is a
modified routine which does some checking on the heads of the colors, and
also clips z so it is always in the domain 0 to 1.
ColorMix[color1_, color2_][z_] /; Head[color1] === Head[color2] :=
Module[{c1, c2, head, z2},
head = Head[color1];
z2 = Max[0, Min[1, z]];
c1 = List @@ color1;
c2 = List @@ color2;
head @@ ((1 - z2)c1 + z2 c2)]
Then, either of these works.
blend = ColorMix[CMYKColor[0, 1, .8, 0], CMYKColor[1, 0, .8, 0]];
blend = ColorMix[BurntSienna, PaleGreen];
Plot3D[Sin[x + 3*y - Random[]], {x, 0, 4}, {y, 0, 3},
ColorFunction -> blend, PlotPoints -> 31, ImageSize -> 450]
I don't think Mathematica gives a direct way to convert one type of color
specification to another, say CMYKColor to RGBColor, such that they could be
combined in a routine like ColorMix.
