There might be such programs but you should never use them because no
two pigments of the same name but different manufacturers will look
the same, especially the natural ones. There are ofcourse those
machines that mix housepaint automatically but they only work for the
ingredients used by those machines.

i guess i was interested in something that might create an
"Approximazation" of a color. not in a "true" sense, as quality of
paint/pigment would obviously be a factor, but instead to give a vague
computer mediated simulation to give insite into creating more
"complex" color variants.... this being a software generated mixing
model for color. yes... a house paint mixing software prog might work
in this instance i believe...as long as artists can translate mixes
into oil or acrylic pigments/brands/qualities using personal
interpretations...

Try the Virtual Palette on wetcanvas.com - although the other comments
re: brand of paint etc still should be taken into consideration.

reason for this kind of software. if you want to learn to mix paint,
like-for real, the best thing to do is buy paint and mix them on a
canvas yourself. what you see on the computer is nothing like what you
will see in real life. and aside from that, everyone's monitor is
different. if you really need an aid, buy a color wheel at your local
art store. it is more convenient.
