Predicted mix color, an estimate
This is a color-space estimate, not a lab result. Real paints mix subtractively, and tint strength, opacity, and binder differ from pot to pot, so the true mix can land lighter, darker, or duller than the swatch above. Treat it as a starting point, then mix a small test batch and adjust on scrap before you commit.

Thinning ratios for brush and airbrush
Thinning is about how much water or medium you add to a paint, not about mixing two colors. As a rough guide, brush work usually wants only a small amount of thinner, roughly one part thinner to two or three parts paint, so the paint flows without losing coverage. Airbrushing needs the paint much looser, often close to one part paint to one part thinner, and sometimes thinner still for fine work. Every paint behaves differently, so start conservative, test the flow on scrap, and add thinner a little at a time rather than all at once.

A free color mixing calculator for hobby paints
This free paint mixing calculator answers a simple question: if I mix these two paints in this ratio, roughly what color do I get? It is built for miniature and scale model painters who want to plan a custom color, stretch a palette, or find a midtone between two pots without wasting paint on trial and error. Pick a paint for A and a paint for B, slide the ratio from mostly A through an even split to mostly B, and the predicted swatch and its hex code update as you go.
The math blends the two measured colors in CIE Lab color space, weighted by the ratio you choose. That is the honest limit of the tool: real pigments mix subtractively, and every paint carries its own tint strength and opacity, so a strong color will pull a mix harder than the ratio suggests. Use the result to get close, then mix a small test batch and adjust. Below the prediction the tool also lists the nearest single pots across every brand, in case one already matches your target and saves you the mixing. It all runs in the browser, with no signup and nothing to install.
