Camera-assisted paint matching
Color Mixing Assistant
Compare a real paint mix with the color you are trying to match. The assistant measures the visible difference and gives you one small, practical adjustment at a time.
Your live camera stays on this device. Frames are sampled in this browser and are never uploaded.

Match real paint without pretending the camera is a lab.
Move the two sample points
Drag the blue point onto the target and the green point onto the current paint. The browser averages both areas and updates the comparison continuously.
Make one small change
You get one conservative suggestion—white, red, yellow, blue, or a cautious touch of black. Mix thoroughly, check again, and stop when the real paint looks right.
Good for practical studio work
Use Color Mixing Assistant when you are matching a wall touch-up, repeating a craft color, adjusting an acrylic or tempera mix, or trying to get closer to a physical reference. It is designed for artists, teachers, DIY painters, prop makers, and anyone who wants a more consistent next step than guessing.
This tool is intentionally different from a screen-only color picker and contrast checker. It compares two real colors together in one live camera view and shows immediately whether the mix is moving closer.
Camera guidance, not a paint formula
Lighting, wet-versus-dry color, pigment strength, surface texture, and the phone camera can all change the reading. Treat the suggestion as visual guidance. Add less than you think, mix completely, let a test patch dry when that matters, and judge the final color in the room where it will be used.
