Mix any color from the paints you actually own. Mixable is a paint mixing guide built for artists who work with watercolor, acrylic, or oil. Pick any target color — from your camera, a photo, or a color wheel — and Mixable calculates the best possible match using only the paints in your palette, with exact ratios. How it works: • Build your palette by selecting the paints you own from real product lines • Choose a target color using your camera, photo library, or color picker • Get a precise mixing recipe with exact ratios from your paints • See how close the match is with a side-by-side comparison and Delta E accuracy score Real brands, real pigments: Mixable includes paints from Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, Schmincke, Golden, Gamblin, Liquitex, Van Gogh, and more — each mapped to its actual pigment composition. The mixing engine uses Kubelka-Munk color theory to predict how pigments blend, the same science used in paint manufacturing. Browse by pigment: Explore paints organized by their Color Index pigment codes. See which paints across different brands share the same pigments — and understand what's actually inside your tubes. Features: • 2-paint and 3-paint mixing recipes • Pick a target color from camera, photo, or color wheel • Support for watercolor, acrylic, and oil • Mixing tips tailored to each recipe • Save and revisit your favorite recipes • Browse paints by brand or by pigment code Try Pro for 7 days: Every new install includes 7 days of Mixable Pro with no payment required and no commitment — unlimited palette size, unlimited 3-paint mixing, unlimited saved recipes, and a starter palette so you can begin mixing right away.
