Mixbox is a color mixing library that treats RGB colors as real paint pigments using Kubelka & Munk theory, producing natural mixtures like yellow and blue making green. It offers a simple RGB-in, RGB-out interface with bindings for C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust, Unity, Godot, and shaders.

Use cases

• mix colors like real paint in a digital painting app
• make yellow and blue blend into green instead of gray
• generate natural pigment-based color gradients
• add realistic paint mixing to a game engine brush tool
• implement pigment mixing in a GLSL or HLSL shader
• avoid muddy color mixtures in smudge brushes

When to choose

• you need realistic paint-like color blending in painting or drawing software
• you want saturated gradients with natural hue shifts instead of RGB averaging
• you need bindings across many languages and engines including Unity, Godot, and shaders

When to avoid

• you only need simple RGB or HSL interpolation without pigment realism
• your project requires a permissive open-source license (license is custom/restricted)
• you need full spectral color science beyond the built-in pigment set
