There seems to be a slightly more accurate way of doing this. I'm not sure of the method, but you can download this , which produces more accurate results. Thanks to for this info.

Just FYI, there is this other program I know of for solving for these transparent colours, here . It appears to be more accurate (at least based on tests on the examples here) and can also solve using more than 2 base colours. I have no idea on the math behind it or anything. If you'd like to know about that, I think the creator can be found on Reddit under the name epdtry.

Hm, this actually appears to work quite well. It seems to be using some sort of linear regression, though, I can't be sure. Also, you could theoretically use my method for more than 2 base colors if you just do it for 2 colors at a time then average the results.

Fair enough. Automation is always nice, however.
P.S. Apologies for being a grammar nazi, but that should be "While you're looking" in your signature.

I've updated each tutorials description, which I'm sure you've already gotten the notifications for all three. Also, my sig is old. I've been meaning to change it for a while. Now's as good a time as any I guess.

Nice. Now I get it... more or less. I'll still have to read the Wiki-Article to find out where the original formula came from, but I'll keep that for later.
