The researchers found that when colors are mixed in a physical way, the resulting hue is often more intense and richer than when colors are mixed digitally.

The Science Behind Color Mixing

Understanding the Physics of Color

Color mixing is a fundamental concept in art and design, but it’s often misunderstood. The way colors interact with each other is governed by the laws of physics, particularly the principles of light and pigments. When colors are mixed physically, the pigments absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light, creating a unique hue.

Real-Time Color Mixing Made Easy with the Kubelka-Munk Model and Mixbox Tool.

It allows users to visualize the color mixing process in real-time, making it easier to predict the final color of a mixture.

The Kubelka-Munk Model

The Kubelka-Munk model is a mathematical framework that describes the behavior of light absorption and scattering in paint mixtures. It was first introduced by Paul Kubelka and Franz Munk in their 1931 paper, “New Method for Measuring the Transmittance of Pigments.” The model is based on the idea that light is absorbed and scattered by pigments in a paint mixture, and that the resulting color is a combination of the individual colors of the pigments.

Mixbox: A Real-Time Color Mixing Tool

Mixbox is a software tool that combines the Kubelka-Munk model with an RGB interface, allowing users to visualize the color mixing process in real-time.
