PigmentPilot: Paint Mixing by Pigment, Not Pixels
A browser-based color tool turns a photographed target into a mixing recipe for the paints already in your box.
Field notes
PigmentPilot asks the painter to begin with the materials already on hand: the mixer selects from 28 oil and watercolor pigments, then calculates proportions for a clicked color in a photo or an entered hex value. Its stated model uses reflectance curves across 16 wavelength bands and Kubelka–Munk mixing, with results including target distance and warnings about dominant pigments. The surrounding library includes pairwise mixing guides, image-reading overlays, and 37 exercises across five levels and eight tracks.
