Colors are compared in the CIELAB color space for perceptual accuracy — not simple RGB matching. Match quality ratings tell you exactly how close each paint is: - Near-perfect: indistinguishable from target - Excellent: barely perceptible difference - Very good: slight difference visible to trained eyes - Good: noticeable but acceptable SMART MIXING RECOMMENDATIONS When no single paint is close enough, Mixura calculates two-paint mixing recipes. You see the exact ratio, a visual preview of the mixed color, and the accuracy rating — so you know exactly what to put on your palette before you open a tube. DETAILED PAINT INFORMATION Every match shows: paint name, brand, product line, pigment codes (Colour Index names), opacity, lightfastness rating, and price series.
