MixMaster: Miniature Paint Mix

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 (one tap from the built-in paint catalog, or read real colors with the camera) 2. Pick the target color (capture it with the camera, or tap the exact spot on a photo from your library; 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 ■ Find paints by color (new in v1.6) Point at any color and see the closest real-world hobby paint from the built-in catalog, with its ΔE — no registered paints required. When no single paint gets close enough, MixMaster shows how close a two-paint mix can get; Pro reveals the two product codes and the ratio. Keep a shopping list of the paints you still need. ■ Made for • Miniature and tabletop figure painters matching a reference or a recipe • Answering "which paint should I buy for this color?" with numbers • 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 ■ Free • Browse and search the real-product paint catalog; register up to 15 paints • Filter by paint type (lacquer / aqueous / acrylic) • Read colors from photos in your library (box art, reference shots) • See the single closest real paint to your target (with ΔE, unlimited) • See how close a two-paint mix can get (the achieved ΔE) • See how close your own palette can get (predicted result + ΔE) • When your palette can't reach it, get told what color to add • Shopping list and per-paint stock tracking • White-reference (white balance) correction to reduce lighting color casts ■ Pro (one-time purchase — no further charges) • Top 5 two-paint mixes from real products — with product codes and ratios • Full list of the closest real paints (up to 5) • 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) • Advanced mode that factors in hiding power (opacity) ■ About the built-in catalog The catalog lists product names, codes, and reference color data for hobby paints sold by GSI Creos (Mr. Color / Aqueous Hobby Color), Tamiya, and Gaia Notes (popular colors first, expanding over time).
