Real Color Mixer simulates mixing real paints (for example oil or acrylic paints) in different proportions; making it possible to preview the newly created colors without actually mixing the physical paints.
The colors are not mixed additively (which is the process used in RGB color models). However mixing the colors red, green and blue in the Real Color Mixer does not achieve white or black colors. Depending on which tones are used for mixing, you can, for example, get a dark khaki color.
Real Color Mixer uses the spectrum of light and a range of reflected and absorbed light of a given color as mixing information.
Features:
- ability to define up to 12 colors for each palette
- ability to save up to 40 mixed colors for each palette
- ability to find a color mixture for a given color.
- possibility to copy the palette
- database of 430 predefine colors
- ability to set the texture and form of the brush
- edit color name
- calculator function allows you to calculate the amount of component paints to achieve the given amount of mixture. The volume unit can be defined in the settings (litr, fluid ounce, galon, pinta, quarter).
To add a color to the 'mixer color' panel, press the desired color. To change the mixing ratio, use plus (+) or minus (-) buttons. Pressing on the plus or minus buttons increases or decreases the amount of specific color by one unit. Pressing the button slightly longer will change the ratio of the color by 10 units.
To select a color, touch and hold it longer. Additionally in the 'color mixing' panel any selected color will not be included into the mix. Due to this you can check the differences in the mixed specific color without removing the selected color from the list or without setting the amount to 0. By touching a mixed color, you will open a preview dialog where you can read the HTML and RGB values of that mixed color.
This is exactly what I’m looking for expect that there isn’t a paid version so the adds at the bottom cover important text. Ugh. Also, the colors in the color library have names but I can’t see their full name. Also, the color names/references are hard to match with my Liquitex classic set.
