Split a Paint Mix Into Colour and Medium Volumes
A ratio is not a recipe until it meets a volume. Split each batch’s total millilitres by its parts ratio and write down the colour and medium to actually measure out.

Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the mixing ratio beaker: your mix | parts colour | parts medium stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: It is one part in five — the parts add. After: the mixing ratio beaker shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Studio arithmetic on ratios and volumes you choose. Not a formulation, archival or colour-matching guarantee; pigment behaviour varies by brand and medium — test on a swatch.

Boundary and sources
Studio arithmetic on ratios and volumes you choose. Not a formulation, archival or colour-matching guarantee; pigment behaviour varies by brand and medium — test on a swatch.
- Method: The tool reports each row’s colour volume, with the medium volume in the note; the summary totals colour across mixes so you know how much tube to open. A zero-colour row is a pure medium batch and is allowed; a zero-zero ratio is rejected because it names no mix.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-28, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Mechanism: competence-autonomy-loop
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this mixing ratio beaker, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a mixing ratio beaker. Return plain rows only: mix | parts colour | parts medium. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: mix | parts colour | parts medium. No AI response is executed as code.
