  • I have 16 empty pots and would like to end up with 16 shades of paint from white to black

    I could combine 15 drops of white in the first, 14 in the second, 13 in the third along with 0 drops of black in the first, 1 in the 2nd, 2 in the third etc

    Is there a better way to do this?

  • If you can accurately control the drop size then it's a similar process to commercial paint mixing. I can't think how it could be easier but I would probably use a syringe and measure the paint in ml.

  • Slightly more elegant if you can find an additional 'zeroth' pot.

    Then that pot (0) is white, your last pot (16) is black and there are 15 blends, each with 16 drops. The middle pot (8) is 50/50 white/black. Pots 4 and 8 are 75/25 mixtures.

  • I'm not sure how well this will work. The paint mixing people use different base paint depending on the final colour which you aren't. If nothing else I don't think the mix will be very linear.

    Would love to see the results.
