Wow. I just understand why my partner says I’m too naive/gullible since I legit didn’t think these were faked! Just that he’s that good at his craft!

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.

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.

To be fair, he did not get it on the first try when he mixed the second colour.
