⚡ CalcWolf Insight
Professional painters never mix custom colors by feel — they use precise measurements and record the exact ratio. Keep a written record of your custom mix (e.g., "32 oz Color A + 12 oz Color B") so you can reproduce it if needed. Take a photo of the dried result next to the ratio for future reference.
