How to use the Chromo paint mixer

Understand the Artist and Printer mixer tabs and when to treat the results as guidance.

1 min read119 wordsUpdated May 20, 2026

The Paint Mixer section estimates how the selected color relates to physical mixing concepts. It has separate tabs for artist-style pigment thinking and printer-style ink thinking.

Artist tab

The Artist tab explains the color using pigment-style components. Use it for creative reference when thinking about paint-like mixing.

Printer tab

The Printer tab explains the color using ink-oriented components. It is useful for understanding print direction, but it is not a replacement for professional print proofing.

Important

Paint and ink are physical materials. Chromo's mixer is useful guidance, not a guaranteed formula for a real-world paint or print result.
