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.
