About this app

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
- possibility to copy the palette
- database of 430 predefine colors
- ability to set the texture and form of the brush
- create (from color picker, RGB or HTML color codes) and delete your own colors
- edit color name
- importing and exporting a palette
- calculator function
- color accuracy search setting
- picking colors from an image
- the ability to find a color mixture for a given color

To add a color to the 'mixer color' panel, press and drag 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.

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 (Lit, Fluid ounce, Galon, Pinta, Quarter).

Ratings and reviews

I am IN LOVE with this app! It's exactly what I've been looking for. I wanted an app that was simple and I could just take a pic, choose the color I want to make and then it tell me how to mix it. I tried 10+ apps before finding this one and it's the best - PERIOD! I immediately purchased bc for the $2 it costs you can create your own palettes, colors and save/label everything. It works perfectly. To the developer, Thank You! This has made my art time so much easier. Great app, Highly Recommend!

Great app for artists, really easy to use, has lots of colours which we use in painting. A lot of people in reviews do not understand what the app is about. It's NOT a digital painting app. The app is just to help you learn colour mixing. It tells you mixing which colour (acrylic, oils, watercolors) will make what. So when you are painting in real life, it will make your process easier and faster. The app does what it says. I am glad that it is not over complicated.

So far, the color mixing is great!! However... I find it incredibly annoying, to go back...and back...and back to an image for every! single! color! Please, find a way to save (at least) the last image, so that the user can quickly go through a color scheme... Maybe even better, still, to mark on an image several points of interest to analyze. Please... I will gladly pay the €1.89 for this tool.
