I know nothing about this - but how would you calibrate for colour. There are about 15 colour setting on a Mac - which all kind of look similar. But that will no doubt affect the interpretation of the shade?Screwdriver wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 7:45 pm I "need" to paint a model. Charizade Pokemon if you must know.
What I would like is an application or somesuch that will analyse the colour required and using the colours I have on hand, tell me which ratio to mix them in.That would be ideal. Option #2 would be just to analyse the desired colour and tell me what colours are required to mix it. There must be such a thing...
Maybe you know or know someone who knows of such a thing. Don't bother telling me I should do "XYZ" instead.
Car repair places use some tool that can "analyse" colour. I am not too sure at what level. Printers must have similarScrewdriver wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 8:12 pm I wouldn't. Close enough will be good enough.
It's a whim. Something to stick inside a Pokeball which I haven't made yet either. At least that's primary colours I can print directly. I could buy a set of printer filaments that are pretty close to the above but that's way too much effort/cost. I already have some acrylics. Quick and dirty is what I need or I'd get all obsessed about it and start doing research on the exact colour matching. Last time I mixed up colours I nearly used up half the set before I got close.
