CLASSIC COLOR MIXING CHART
Based on a selection of historically significant colors, this palette is capable of producing a wide range of traditional mixes, creating a spectrum of colors often found in nature.

GO FROM PUZZLED TO PROFICIENT WITHOUT WASTING A DROP OF PAINT!
The Virtual Paint Mixer has become the most popular resource we offer because it allows artists to experiment and play with colors from our entire palette before buying — by getting a feel for how colors interact with each other and identify the correct amounts of each color to nail a target color. You can even upload images to isolate colors and instantly create a paint mixture, convert colors from RGB or CMYK into paint mixtures – then save and share the mixtures you create!
ANOTHER VERY POPULAR RESOURCE FROM GOLDEN…
Maybe considered “step one”, our Color Mixing Guide is frequently cited by painting instructors for orientation to the concept of subtractive and reflective colors for artists. It is a little technical, but mostly it is a very practical guide to basic color mixing using primary colors. Like everything else we share on this page, this is a free resource you can access any time and anywhere.
