Frequently Asked Questions

It's a digital tool that lets you blend two paint colors and preview the resulting shade, simulating real-world pigment mixing using subtractive color models. Perfect for artists and designers exploring color combinations without wasting physical paint.
Additive mixing (light) combines colors by adding wavelengths, starting from black and reaching white. Subtractive mixing (paints/inks) works by absorbing (subtracting) light; mixing more colors results in darker tones. Our simulator shows both modes so you can compare.
Real pigments have complex optical properties like scattering and absorption (Kubelka-Munk theory). Our tool uses idealized subtractive blending; actual results vary by pigment quality, binder, and surface. Always test with physical swatches for critical work.
Yes! The tool automatically calculates and displays the approximate CMYK percentages below the result swatch. This is especially useful for print design or matching paint formulations.
Click any circular preset color below Color 1 or Color 2 to instantly load common artist pigments like Cadmium Red, Cobalt Blue, or Titanium White. You can also use the native color picker or type a hex code directly.
