How the calculation works

Colour A = total × A parts ÷ (A parts + B parts). Colour B is the remainder.

Before you use the result

Use the same unit for both colours. Fractional drops need a larger batch or measured volume; drop sizes vary between bottles.

A worked example

Colour A ratio parts: 3 · Colour B ratio parts: 2 · Total amount (drops or ml): 20.
