In that video it is mostly RGB mixing it is not really natural color mixing that is something much more annoying. What differs there is the GUI for the blobs. You have also a have hsv interpolation at one point which is not the best if not noticably bad. I still think hcy mixing to be better even with it’s bad use cases stated on the previous discussion thread. I have suggested index colors for recoloring like this before. > [@Color that is not a color but a reference to one](https://krita-artists.org/t/color-that-is-not-a-color-but-a-reference-to-one/16502): > > How about a color that is a reference like 1 or 2 or 3 instead of a (0.2, 0.6, 0.5) vector directly. And this reference number would instead refer to the vector on a menu. You could have as much reference colors as you want so to speak or like 10 or something per project or something. Imagine your painting with reference 2, all that paint will act as reference 2=(vector color 2) until you changed the vector color 2 color into another one changing everything in the painting with that color.
