Trycolors.com - is a free online color mixing tool. Mix colors manually or get automatic recipes with precise proportions.

I wish I know about this in art school. We had to make our own color charts and figure things out for ourselves.

The pro version requires a sign-up and the unlimited version is paid. There are still lots of good free featuress to use.

      True, but art will always look different anyway, unless it’s always under diffused, white light.

      It’s a good baseline because it shows how pigments don’t always mix the way you would expect them too based on a colour wheel. It does a good job of showing of showing how some yellows can wash out other colours in even mixtures, or how some blues make more of a brown when mixed with yellow or red, as opposed to a green or purple.

        The same diffused, white light, that is the same brightness, and same distance. But close enough works for most things.
