ColorsLab - Oil & Acrylic Paint Mixing & Pigment Finder
Welcome to ColorsLab, the fine art subtractive optical pigment finder and physical paint mixing engine. ColorsLab is designed for oil painters, acrylic artists, watercolorists, and art students who need precise real-world pigment recipes instead of digital RGB approximations.
Key Features
- Subtractive Pigment Mixing: Real-world pigment absorption and scattering powered by Kubelka-Munk optical formulas.
- 5x Precision Loupe: Inspect pixels on classical masterworks (Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Hokusai) or upload your own reference photos.
- Exact Tube Recipes: Obtain precise ratios for Titanium White (PW6), Cadmium Red (PR108), Ultramarine Blue (PB29), Yellow Ochre (PY43), Burnt Sienna (PBr7), and more.
- Color Theory & Gamut Masking: Explore Munsell color trees, triadic harmonies, complementary palettes, and color temperature balances.
- Interactive Mixing Palette: Simulate wet-on-wet paint mixing with realistic pigment opacity, tinting strength, and masstone.
