Added a little color mixing practice "game" to it, just for fun of the joy. How close can you get to the target color?

Artist palette mixer. Mix a color incrementally using a color spectrum or a custom artistic colors palette (comes with some presets like Zorn palette). Add colors directly to a new palette. RGB,LAB and Pigment mixing, blend modes. Try it here:

Finally finished the box cover art for Castles. A fun board game by Creaper @creaperbox.bsky.social, a swiss game designer. Kickstarted launching soon (June 1st). Make sure to check it out and support the project.

Added a color search to add colors by name from a color names database with +31k colors.

Thank you. Those are the most common blend modes, and they should usually be the same in every software. Simple maths in many cases, some more complex. Not sure, there can be many variations and depending on the color space or profile might have different results.
