Masstones vs undertones
Overview of available color data of swatches, hue segments listed by 15° increments (OKLab). Masstones and undertones for watercolors are measured with a spectrophotometer. The gradient swatches are scanned, and analyzed for undertones with imagemagick.
This page helps to see how the different methods compare.

Visualize Nix Spectro 2 readings
If you use the Nix Spectro 2, you can upload the CSV file (downloaded from the Nix Toolkit) to visualize the readings on different ab planes. You can see the color data converted to OKLab, the reflectance curves, and similar paints from our database are also listed.

Real paint mixes
We have some real-world gouache and acrlyic mixes, measured with a spectrophotometer. You can check them on different color planes,
and compare them with digital mixes (Mixbox, Spectral.js).
