Where can I find an online table to mix paint colors (not light colors like html)?

I'm painting something and my purple just doesn't come out right, and I'd like to know what color I should add more. I don't want to find out by trial%26amp;error, I'd prefer a list of mixed colors with the amounts of paint used. I know html and rgb codes are negative of paint, that's the difficult part in finding it.





Thanks.Where can I find an online table to mix paint colors (not light colors like html)?
You probably won't find a table that tells you exactly how much to add for the exact shade of purple you want, although maybe you'll find a ratio that's closer. If you know exactly the corresponding name of the purple (like winsor and newton's purple madder) that you're going for you might have some success googling different people's ';recipe'; for making it. When I'm mixing color I usually do it on a miniature scale right on the palm of my hand or palette first to make sure that it's going in the direction that I want, your brain starts to store these little formulas with time and you'll just remember them.


Here are some paint mixing links:

And here's a thread talking about the same subject that suggest some color mixing bibles:
