A Mixing Example

As an example of the simulated paint mixing, consider the image below which shows two paints: phthalo blue (green shade) in the upper left and phthalo green (blue shade) in the lower right.


The base colour of the two paints is very similar with the one in the lower right being ever so slightly lighter in appearance to the one in the upper right.







However, watch what happens when we mix in some titanium white:

The phthalo blue turns a lighter blue colour while the phthalo green becomes a lighter greenish-blue.
