Description
Paint Color Mixer helps artists preview paint mixes before using real paint. Choose colors, adjust ratios, compare the current mix with a target color, and search for close paint recipes. It supports watercolor, acrylic, oil, gouache, and digital preview modes. You can also save useful mixes, create custom palettes, share mix links, print recipes, and learn from color mixing guides and Q&A.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic RGB color mixer is trivial, but accurately simulating physical paint mixing (subtractive color) across watercolor, oil, and acrylic requires complex Kubelka-Munk spectral models.
What it would actually take: Real physical paint mixing requires implementing the Kubelka-Munk theory of reflectance and absorption across multispectral bands (31-channel spectra rather than simple RGB/CMYK). The system requires a calibrated database of actual artist pigment spectral characteristics (e.g., Cadmium Red vs. Quinacridone Magenta) to calculate realistic subtractive color mixtures and tinting strengths.
