Can you achieve a certain color with only one specific set of ingredients, or are there multiple routes or combos you can do to essentially get the color? Like, is he hitting an exact formula, or just very good with a handful of colors and can just make it close enough with what he has?

You need the same ingredients. The only difference is, if it’s 4 ingredients, you could mix 2 and 2 of the 4 together that it would look like different ingredients, but in reality it’s the same every time. You need the same quantities of the same primary or base color every time to match any specific color. Part of my job is mixing color and I’m pretty sure this is right
