## Real Paint mixing tools Description
Painters can load an image, pick colors and obtain OPAQUE paint mixing recipes for several commercial paint brands. This is useful for art students, painters with color vision difficulties, and professionals working in painting conservation and restoration. It can also help reduce paint, time, and money waste.

Optishade images can be imported directly from the Optishade by StyleItaliano app and used by technicians to create gum or dental colors for mockups.

RealPaint includes many color spaces: sRGB, Display P3, CMYK, HSL, HSV/B, Lab, Lch-ab, Luv, Lch-uv, XYZ, xyY, and Munsell coordinates. Munsell coordinates are calculated from the original and extrapolated Renotation Data with high precision, even near the neutral axis. You can also check the color transformation error for full control over conversions.

RealPaint includes one Ideal Paint set and many measured Paint Sets from well-known manufacturers: Createx, Daler-Rowney, Ferrario, Gamblin, Grumbacher-Chartpak, Golden, Liquitex, Maimeri, Royal Talens, Schmincke, Sennelier, Vallejo, and Winsor & Newton.

Each Paint Set includes 8 paint bases. Once you select a Paint Line, you can purchase the 8 bases wherever you prefer and use them for all your paintings. The 6 colored bases in each Paint Set are optimized to cover the widest possible opaque color space, providing as many mixable colors as possible. Some sets also include phthalocyanine pigments because they offer a wider mixing gamut, although they may be more difficult for beginners.

The apps in the “Real Paint mixing tools” family use measured spectral data from painted samples. A large portion of the RGB/P3 space can be mixed, but not every RGB/P3 color is physically achievable with real paints. This is not an app limitation, but a consequence of paint physics. However, many colors outside the RGB/P3 color space can also be mixed by manually adjusting paint amounts on the “Mixing” page.

Paint recipes can be generated with several Mixing Strategies:

“B and W + 2 Colors”: Black and White first create a gray, then 2 colored bases adjust Hue and Saturation.

“B or W + 3 Colors”: 3 colored bases set Hue and Saturation, while either Black or White sets the Value.

“At least one opaque”: shows all possible opaque mixing combinations.

“No Black used”: shows opaque combinations without Black.

“All bases at once”: calculates one recipe using all bases together. The result is usually not unique and opacity is not guaranteed, but it can be useful for color gamut testing.

Each recipe can be Exact or Rounded:

“Exact recipe” calculates each base amount with 0.01-unit precision. To obtain percentage values, enter 100 as the total amount. This is useful for weight-based measurements with a scale.

“Rounded recipe” expresses each base amount as an integer and uses the smallest possible total amount. It is useful for volume-based measurements, such as drops, spoons, or squared paper with paint squeezed directly from tubes.

Digital images usually do not fit entirely within the gamut of real paint sets. RealPaint can estimate an approximate desaturation value to adapt an image to the selected Paint Set and current mixing parameters. This heuristic value is approximate, but usually provides very good results.

Please note that paint color may vary within the same tube or jar, between different batches, and when manufacturers change formulations over time. Always mix small test amounts first to make sure the computed recipes meet your needs!

## Real Paint mixing tools Reviews in United States

### *---- "Doesnt provide useful recipes"
I tried to mix a few Munsell colors by this app using Golden Artist paints.  The recipes did not provide the target color.
-- Pumper92, 2026-06-08

### ***** "Outstanding"
RealPaint is the gold-standard color-mixing guide
I’ve been using it for years, with gratitude.
I hope this app is alive and well for coming generations!
-- Zen of Poker, 2026-03-02

### ****- "Great App but missing a key feature"
I really enjoy this app- It is easy and simple to use to pick out colors from a photograph. I just wish that you could see the picked color on a color wheel. I use different pigments then the ones used in the app( like Ultramarine Blue then pthalo) for mixing and showing the picked color on a color wheel would give artists a good map to mix the selected color without having to follow the prescribed pigments. It would be the ultimate painting app if it had a color wheel. I hope they can implement it an update!
-- Fool Moony, 2024-02-21

### ***** "Amazing tool for painters"
I use Gamblin oils and this app is amazing!!! There are a good amount of brands to choose from and this app tells you the exact amounts of the exact paint colors to mix the exact colors it color matches for you! Just go through the settings thoroughly to make sure you have everything set the way you need it for the brand you are using. Anyone giving this app a low rating just doesn’t know what they are doing. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
-- ProlificMystic, 2023-09-24

### *---- "It's not very practical !!"
In tis app there is very little variety of colors that is uses .
It uses a few limited colors on each images.
-- Mori art studio, 2023-02-20

### ****- "Great app to color finding"
I love this app. It’s so helpful to find the color mixing formula to get the right color I need. The only thing I wished it had in the Paint Brand and Line was a watercolor line. I use winsor and newton professional watercolors. The closest line I found was the WN gouache color combination. I can manage but your app is so good at giving the right color name for the gouache that I wished I had access to a watercolor option too. Maybe soon?
-- lilygk, 2021-05-08

### ***** "Saves time ... and paint!"
OMG!  This app is exactly what I was hoping to find in the App Store after struggling to create the acrylic paint colors needed while painting canvas to match a photograph.  Thank you!
-- YGlen, 2020-12-06

### ***** "Really useful"
Great app for mixing large quantities of paint for projects that started in a digital space but have to be realized in paint.
-- JRGMB, 2020-10-15

### ***** "Amazing tool!"
This app has been such a valuable tool to me. It helps to identify color blends easily and accurately, which saves me time and  paint!
-- nikkiller, 2020-05-12

### ***** "suggestion"
Works as advertised.
The Vermeer painting you use as an example? Old Holland Paints claims it was made with their paints. Currently playing around with these paints & would love to see their pallet included.
-- acediac, 2019-09-29
