PC Color Mixer for Android

The ability to come up with a color recipe is just the beginning of the usefulness of this app. For people without much experience blending their own colors of clay, the color recipes are a boon. For people who can mix a custom color without a recipe, using the color picker to match a custom color provides a recipe that can be replicated over and over again in large or small quantities. No more flailing around trying to match a color created by adding a pinch of this and a glob of that. The interface is intuitive and easy, and the performance is quick. I find myself using the app almost every time I sit down to work with polymer.

Mixing colors can be unintuitive. If you want lilac, you think you just need to add white, but in reality you’ll get a different color every time. That makes creating multiple batches over time really difficult. This uses the same formula every single time, so you know your colors will be perfect matches every batch. The app has a clean layout and is very simple to use. You’ll have to be patient to make the measurements exact, but the reward is precise colors. This is the ideal tool for artists who make large amounts of objects, like Christmas ornaments, or who make very large things.

After wasting clay for 15 years, I can now mix any color I want and the app will do the math so I can make as little or as much as I need. I’m astonished at how simple it is. Pick a color and tell it how much you want- instant recipe. Thank you!!!

Already I can see where I will start no new project without using this app. No more random blending of colors hoping to get that illusive periwinkle…and settling for not-quite-right purples. That I can also make just the amount of clay I need is terrific, but especially because if I need just a bit more of that perfect periwinkle I can keep using that hex code. Love it!
