Mixora helps artists predict how real paints will mix before using them. Instead of simply blending RGB colors on a screen, it uses reconstructed spectral data to estimate physical paint mixtures. Choose a target color, find mixing ratios, manage your paint collection, save recipes, and explore practical color tools. All directly in your browser.

Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and recipe tracking are simple, accurate physical paint color prediction relies on Kubelka-Munk spectral absorption and scattering theory with curated spectral reflectance datasets of real artist pigments.
What it would actually take: A true implementation requires modeling Kubelka-Munk theory (two-constant formulation for K and S values across the visible wavelength spectrum) rather than basic additive/subtractive RGB approximations. The core challenge is acquiring and calibrating spectrophotometer data for dozens of commercial paint lines. A builder needs color science expertise, numerical optimization routines for recipe matching (e.g., Nelder-Mead or linear programming over spectral curves), and a database of pigment optical constants.
