In the era of digital painting, where sliders and color pickers do much of the heavy lifting, it’s easy to forget how color mixing actually works in traditional media.
If you’ve spent a lot of time working digitally and want to test whether your real-world color instincts are still sharp, here’s a fun little challenge:
It’s a simple but effective exercise. You’re given a target color and asked to recreate it by mixing just a few base colors, just like you would with real paint.
Apparently, I’m still in shape. I managed to hit 99% accuracy! But I still paint regularly with gouache and oil, so I guess that muscle memory is still there.
If you’re feeling a bit rusty or just want to challenge yourself, give it a try. It’s a great way to reconnect with how hues, saturation, and values behave outside of digital tools.
And if you take the test, share your screenshots. I’d love to see how others are doing!
