MixMaster: Miniature Paint Mix

Stop guessing. Photograph the paints you own, tap a target color, and get a precise, repeatable mix ratio — powered by real color science, not a swatch chart.

Point your camera at the paints you already own, tap the color you want, and get the exact ratio to mix it.

MixMaster uses real color science — CIE Lab + subtractive (Kubelka-Munk) mixing — to reverse-engineer the closest blend from YOUR paints, not a generic swatch chart. Made for miniature, tabletop, and scale-model painters who need a precise, repeatable recipe every time.

■ Three steps

1. Register your paints (color and hiding power; read real colors with the camera)
2. Pick the target color (capture it with the camera; Pro can also enter a color via the color picker or a hex code)
3. Get the closest blend automatically. First you see the predicted result and the color difference (ΔE). Pro reveals the exact mixing ratio and lets you fine-tune it with sliders while the predicted color and ΔE update live

■ Made for • Miniature and tabletop figure painters matching a reference or a recipe • Miniature painters building highlights and shadows by layering • Scale-model builders mixing a specific or in-between color • Recreating a discontinued or specified color from the paints on hand • Acrylic, watercolor, and oil painters matching a target

■ Free • See how close you can get (predicted result + ΔE) • When your palette can't reach it, get told what color to add • White-reference (white balance) correction to reduce lighting color casts

■ Pro (one-time purchase — no further charges) • See the exact mixing ratio to your target color • Layering ladder — auto-generate highlight & shadow mixes from a base color, using the paints you own • Drop-by-drop guide — turn any ratio into an exact drop count and order • Save, share, and fine-tune recipes with sliders • Share recipes as an image card ready for social posts • Register unlimited paints — the more you own, the wider the range you can mix • Set the target color directly (color picker or hex, not just the camera) • Import from a color catalog • Advanced mode that factors in hiding power (opacity)

Colors depend on lighting and film conditions, so treat predictions as guidance.
