This web content dives into the world of mixing paints and numerical optimization using a virtual paint mixing tool for creating unique colors. The author, with a background in real-time graphics engineering, found similarities between light behavior in video games and miniature painting, leading to the creation of the tool. The tool helps in understanding how different paints interact, providing insights on mixing ratios to achieve desired colors. Light is explained as an electromagnetic wave, with colors perceived based on wavelengths. Reflection of light on different surfaces is discussed, detailing how diffused and specular components impact the appearance of objects. Building on spectral characteristics of light, the author delves into the complexities of paint mixing and color perception.
