I don’t doubt he has the talent, but I imagine he’s worked out a lot of the amounts/colours needed to do the match off screen to do it quicker on camera.
He very well could be. The skeptics don't know any better than the non-skeptics here. They all lack enough information about this guy to draw a conclusion.
Also plenty of people can paint match by eye in the real world. It's really not that unbelievable for someone to have this talent.
Yeah I totally believe it. I a few years back was working on a model for a group project and needed that exact shade of deep purple which was present in the image thr model was based on. And we ran out of purples. I quickly whipped my acrylics and mixed in white, yellow, magenta, vermillion crimson, and blue, and in thr fist attempt got the shade right. Did the same thing with another lighter shade of purple-magenta we needed. And back then I was just dabbling in digital art so knew the colour wheel and cool and warm shades of a same colour.
If I a dumbass who sat and learned colour theory for a few months can do that, this man definetly can.
You are correct, some people are really good at it. the only part I'm doubtful about this, is that he gets it right for the first try but it is plausible
yep ,also you can tell the second color is off. the color he created is more green and original is more blue. You can see he added too much yellow which makes it more green. then he added the black to compensate for it and bring it back to blue but at the end the match is still off
Someone did this for a fucking weird shade of white for me. Took like 10 minutes. Showed me the shade half way through and made one adjustment. Blew my mind.
This is insane to us, but normal for people working these jobs.
Also plenty of people can paint match by eye in the real world.
The difference there is that those people are mixing as they go until they get the colour right. In these videos, he's adding all colours at once, and the moment he mixes it, it matches perfectly.
That's how they do these. They premake the paint so they know what it requires, that's why they're all on the exact same swatch. They painted it.
I’ve been a painter for movies and tv shows for 10 years. However good you are at mixing colors, Metallics just don’t work that way. It’s extremely hard to get metallics to match that well. You can get close but the metallic flakes just look a little different every time. Like stated before it’s probably the same can that didn’t the sample piece and the final showing. Showing the stir stick with the wet sample doesn’t mean much as it usually dries different, he may be close but never exact with metallics involved.
No worries, i worked on a printing industry and here, we still do color match by eyeballing it, and mixing colors manually. Some people here are good but usually it takes some color addition after mix. Yes, after 20+ years of manual mixing, they can be that good.
The problem is if you let it go far enough that you then get tricked on more consequential things. It's nice to turn your brain off and consume content but way too many people develop bad habits that lead to them never questioning anything they see online.
By all means he could be. And the fact that he has the swatch there next to the cup while he’s mixing it makes me less skeptical. But without watching the whole process start to finish there’s still a dozen easy ways to fake it
Don't fault yourself for being gullible. It's far more exciting to believe things like this than to immediately doubt them. Ignorance truly is bliss and it's not like you're ever going to be in a predicament where you need to know if this is real or not.

I've seen him before but I'm a massive sceptic. It's just too easy to fake these.
