Color Mixer

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.

How to use the Paint Colour Mixer

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, so you can see how good a recipe is before you reach for a brush.

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 would rather not mix with, or focus on specific ranges. You can also send any colour directly from another tool using the eyedropper icon — no need to search for the same paint again. The mixer also detects when your exact target paint is already in your collection and flags it as a direct match. It is especially useful when you have run out of a specific paint and want to recreate it from what is on your shelf, or when a tutorial calls for a brand you do not own.

Where do the mix suggestions come from?

From the paints in your own collection (your Hoard). The tool calculates which combinations, and in what ratios, get closest to your target colour.

Do I need to add my paints first?

Yes. Load your collection in the My Hoard tab so the mixer knows what you have to work with.

How precise are the mixing ratios?

Ratios are a calculated starting point based on colour values. Real pigments vary in opacity and strength, so treat them as a close guide and adjust by eye.

What if I already own the exact colour?

The mixer flags it. If a single paint in your collection already matches the target, it tells you rather than suggesting a needless blend.
