Mix paint palettes for images from base pigments using the Kubelka-Munk equations. Based on the paper of Lindemeier et al. [1].
This is a collection of base pigments whose absorption and scattering coefficients I've measured in my article [1]:
- Primary Magenta
- Carmine Red
- Cadmium Red Medium
- Raw Umber
- Cadmium Orange Hue
- Cadmium Yellow Hue
- Primary Yellow
- Leaf Green
- Phthalo Green
- Cobalt Blue Tone Deep
- Ultramarine Blue
- Lilac
- Lamp Black
- Titanium White
Figure 1: This is a visualization of the pigments and their resulting reflectance on black and white background.
Command to extract a pallete of size 6 from a input image:
./palette_extraction -b ../palettes/BasePigments/AcrylicsBasePigments.json -i ../doc/palette_extraction/pexels-photo-977737.jpeg -n 6 -o ../doc/palette_extraction/pexels-photo-977737-extractedPalette.json
Figure 2: The input image [2] we will extract a palette from using the pigments from Figure 1 .
Figure 3: The extracted palette rendered on black and white background.
These are the weights computed with the PaintMixer solver:
Primary Magenta | Carmine Red | Cadmium Red Medium | Raw Umber | Cadmium Orange Hue | Cadmium Yellow Hue | Primary Yellow | Leaf Green | Phthalo Green | Cobalt Blue Tone Deep | Ultramarine Blue | Lilac | Lamp Black | Titanium White |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0947 | 0.262 | 0.0903 | 0.215 | 0 | 0.337 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.019 | 0 | 0.981 |

0 | 0 | 0.0854 | 0 | 0.171 | 0.0692 | 0.674 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0.146 | 0.211 | 0.437 | 0 | 0.206 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0063 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0369 | 0.212 | 0.216 | 0.259 | 0.0625 | 0.206 | 0 |
Table 1: These are the weights for mixing the paints as shown in Figure 3 from the base pigments shown in Figure 1.
These are the absorption and scattering coefficients of the extracted palette computed using the mixing solver and output as json:
