As a graphic designer and color theory educator, I find the Nix Mini 3 and Nix Spectro 2 have become indispensable to my practice.
When I started on my mission to promote science-based color theory, I had to rely on others’ research. Now I can scan samples of paint, crayon, and other art materials, visualizing the colorimetric data in creative ways. Nix has played a huge part in helping me make color science more accessible.
