Why petition the paint gods for a new color when you can brew it yourself? The Color Mixer is your personal Apothecarion, a bubbling cauldron where new hues are born from the old. This is forbidden alchemy for the painter who scoffs at fate and forges their own palette. It's the secret to creating that perfect, custom-mixed color for your chapter's trim or that disgusting Nurgle flesh-tone that just doesn't come in a pot.
Present a color to the machine spirit as your target. It will then consult your personal Hoard, running complex litanies to calculate the sacred ratios needed to bring your vision to life. No more "happy little accidents"—only calculated perfection. By your will alone, your existing paints shall be transmuted into something new and glorious.
Select any paint as your target colour and the mixer suggests blends using paints already in your collection — including single-paint direct matches, two-paint blends with proportions, and basic three-paint combinations. Each result shows the blended colour swatch and a distance score indicating how close the mix comes to your target.
To get useful results, build up your collection in the My Hoard tab first — the mixer draws only from paints you own. Once loaded, use the brand toggles to exclude brands you'd rather not mix with, or focus on specific ranges. The mixer also detects when your exact target paint is already in your collection and flags it as a direct match.
The colour mixer is particularly useful when you've run out of a specific paint and want to recreate it from what's on your shelf, or when following a tutorial that calls for a brand you don't own and you need to know which owned paints to blend as a substitute.
