TRANSPARENT PAINT DATA · 40 RECORDS

Open paint mix reference library

Every record exposes its target, measured parts, method, review date, limitations, and evidence status. The current collection consists of pigment-aware editorial starting points. None are presented as brand-calibrated physical measurements until a complete studio test is attached.

READ THE EVIDENCE FIRST

Three labels, three different claims

A useful database should make uncertainty visible. Mixora will only upgrade a record when the required evidence exists.

Editorial starting point

Ready for a first swatch

A pigment-aware formula written for a controlled first test. It has not been verified across named commercial paints.

Calculator prediction

Computed, then checked

A numerical estimate from selected digital paint records. A dried physical swatch is still required.

Studio tested

Named and reproducible

A named brand, pigment set, medium, surface, wet observation, and dry observation have been recorded.

Ratios with a path back to the full reasoning

Use one repeatable unit for each part. Multiply the whole recipe when a fraction is too small to measure reliably.

HOW A RECORD BECOMES STUDIO TESTED

Keep the brand, pigment code, surface, medium, and dry result together

A valid test records the exact paints, batch ratio, primer or ground, application thickness, medium, lighting, wet appearance, dry appearance, and date. A color-distance number can support the observation, but it cannot replace the physical sample or the conditions under which it was measured.
