Terracotta, mixed from 4 tube paints. Every recipe on Mixora is a starting point you test on paper.

How it works

  1. Choose the color

    Type a hex code, pick it from the screen, or sample it from a photo. The photo never leaves your device.

  2. Add your paints

    Start with the demo set, or list the tubes on your shelf. Mixora only uses paints you actually have.

  3. Mix a small test

    Measure the parts, paint a swatch, and let it dry. Compare it with the target and adjust one thing at a time.

Try a mix right here

Pick a color, then move the sliders. The swatch on the right is mixed the way paint mixes, not the way screen colors do, so blue and yellow really do make a muted green.

Questions people ask first

Is Mixora free?

Yes. The color mixer, recipes and guides are free to use, and you don't need an account. Optional ads help pay for the site, and you can turn them off.

Which kinds of paint does it work with?

Acrylic, oil, gouache, watercolor and miniature paints. The ratios are a starting point, so always mix a small test and judge it after it dries.

How accurate is the recipe?

Mixora models how pigments absorb and scatter light, which is much closer to real paint than averaging screen colors. Brands, thickness and drying still shift the result, so the dried swatch has the final word.

Where is my paint list saved?

In your own browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a recipe link.
