About Pigment Mixer

Pigment Mixer lets you upload a reference image and click anywhere to instantly sample a color and see the closest matching swatch in your palette. Save your favorite colors as named paint swatches, then get suggested 2- or 3-color mixes (with ratios) to help you recreate new colors using the paints you already own.Note that this preview version, while in early development, has limits on the number of palettes, swatches and mixes that can be saved. This number will be increased over time as I get comfortable everything works as expected
