A 17-minute SIGGRAPH Asia 2021 presentation on mixing digital paint the way physical pigments mix, rather than with RGB blending. It demonstrates how simulated pigments produce more natural, vivid mixes, such as blue and yellow giving green.

HN people call it absolutely fascinating and recommend it to anyone working with both digital and physical color.

“The SIGGRAPH talk linked towards the end of the article is absolutely fascinating.”

Here's a detailed 17 min video presentation of the approach, from SIGGRAPH Asia 2021: ▶ this video Very fun stuff if you work with both digital (additive) and physical (subtractive) colors.

The SIGGRAPH talk linked towards the end of the article is absolutely fascinating. The demo at 16:30 shows just how much more vivid the simulated pigments are compared to regular RGB color mixing. ▶ this video
