Could you build this?
No Simulating realistic pigment color mixing in the browser requires deep knowledge of computer graphics, custom WebGPU/WGSL shaders, and subtractive color physics like the Kubelka-Munk model.
What it would actually take: The architecture demands a WebGPU rendering pipeline written in WGSL that models optical pigment reflectance spectra or Kubelka-Munk absorption/scattering coefficients instead of standard RGB blending. It also requires a custom high-performance layer compositing engine, a node-based shader graph compiler, and optimized brush physics, demanding specialized graphics engineering expertise.
