You are using the terms a bit arbitrarily, so I’m not entirely certain what you mean in particular. Color _blending_ is necessary for any operation that creates mixtures of different colors and of course Krita does that. But I think what you’re asking is if Krita can make the blending behave much more like real color pigment. Unfortunately no, that’s currently not really possible, it would require a more complex spectral sampling absorbance / reflectance color model. That was discussed in this thread here: > [@CMYK Color Blending Mode](https://krita-artists.org/t/cmyk-color-blending-mode/6152): > > I have already discussed the ability to load more than one color on the same brush and why the feature would be useful on the following thread ([Feature request: to use two or more colors at the same time at the same brush tip - #17 by Rigognos](https://krita-artists.org/t/feature-request-to-use-two-or-more-colors-at-the-same-time-at-the-same-brush-tip/5543/17)). I also mentioned the usefulness of implementing a mixer palette when developing the previous feature on the same thread.The following feature may be necessary to implement as a blending mode before adding back a color mixing palette and creating a featur… Despite the title, working in the CMYK color model (which is already in Krita) is not enough. One of the [MyPaint](http://mypaint.org/) developers, Brien Dieterle, explains in detail how they do it in their application. There is a comparison in post number 7, spectral blending in the second image. --- _[View the full topic](https://krita-artists.org/t/real-color-mixing/13237)._
