Color / 1.0

Digital mixing is not a paint recipe

Compare digitally; decide with physical swatches.

01

Different kinds of results

Screens emit light; paint swatches are viewed under illumination. Matching hex values cannot guarantee matching coverage, gloss or metallic effects.

02

Record a swatch

Make a swatch over the intended primer and record paints, proportions and coat count. Compare after drying under consistent lighting.

03

Use the tool appropriately

The cabinet narrows paint candidates and 2D blend modes help compare designs. Use physical swatches for the final decision, especially for metallics and transparent glazes.
