Default paint mixing, named colors

in painting and maybe many-colorant systems, I think a "mathematical"
software mixing program, in coordination with a spectral/color
measurement device might have a market

paints/painting can be expensive

if you had a software, perhaps with a xy/uv chromaticity diagram
locating all the paints, you could mix on the diagram, then calculate
how much of each paint you want to get the color you want, and mix them
too get an estimate before trial and error mixing

you would need a "measurement tube" to dispense the right amount of
paint, might save expensive colorants like some paints

ICC has named colors, don't know if they are spectrum or color based

I don't know if paint companies have named color profiles for their
pant, they might want you to use more paints in the trial and error process

named colors and xy/uv diagrams are probably how mathematical constructs
are generated for many-colorant ink systems beyond CMYK
