Golden yellow ochre, PY43. From an old batch of pigment to a vibrant watercolor paint! 

Thanks for including the microscope shot at the end, so fascinating! ♥

Wow!! If I have such a great tool it will be a helpful for me to look inside the colours and know better them❤ Thank you for such a great option!!

That Nix Mini 2 could be a great tool for copying color palettes from physical paintings or materials to a digital project

280000 years! Talking about a colour that never age! :) It's soooo pretty!!

Love hearing about pigment history and your own passion for it! The Nix Mini would be great for my scientific illustrations. Also, the curiosity factor alone makes it interesting.

I’ve been mulling paints for a long time but always have trouble getting exact matches for specific pigment recipes even when I use measuring scoops. I really need a scientific gram scale for more accuracy but one of these would definitely help me define and compare batch to batch and help me with refining my process of colour theory. I’ve been studying colour theory for many years but I did not know that devices like this even existed, nor a Hegman Gauge, until I just came across your RU-vid channel today. I really appreciate your input here in the science of pigmentogy. I want to refine my practice even more and become a pigment scientist someday.

Missed the live, but great video! The NIX is so new to me since I'm new to your channel. TY for doing a giveaway...

That's amazing! Thank you for the opportunity~ I'd love to get my hands on that colorometer to feature on my channel and possibly show others how to use it, compare swatches, and so much more! Good luck to everyone :D

I love everything about color pigments.

Ohhhh dang! So many reasons I would love to have the Nix2 ... I was looking into the one that you have and trying to come with a good reason to have one at work. Unfortunately none of the reasons would pass as a valid motive! Really nice video and that huge bucket is really something.

👏👏👏 Thank you, Laurens. Any pigment nerd would love to get their hands on the Nix 2. 😂

I would love to win the color meter as I am also into the craft of making paint, and it would be amazing to be able to compare the color accuracy of my batches.

Aww - this would be so cool to have - I can't afford it at the moment but saw you use the bigger version in one of your earlier videos :D - would be awesome to try out myself! - Keep up the good work

love your content. thank you for the great insight into how this wonderful medium is made. this colour nerd would also love an opportunity to play with the Nix. 😅

Wow, what a gorgeous color...yeah, happy int'l pigment day 🎉

nice colors !

I feel like the nix sensor would be super helpful when trying to figure out colors from things like reference photos! A ways back I had heard that ochres of all colors come from a specific type of clay? Do you know if that's true? I had never thought much about pigment classifications by anything but color before that

I like to play with my pigments and to create my own watercolors. I‘d use it to recreate my watercolors and to find out, what options I also have. I think the nix 2 would be a great help and give me a lot more fun with paints and pigments

What pigment nerd wouldn't love to play with this tool? 🤩 It would help me to get a more in depth understanding of pigments and their unique properties. And I'd love to go nerfing with you 😉😁

I would love to have this amazing little gadget! Really my whole art process gains so much momentum from my passion for color and I would use it constantly out of pure curiosity!🤓

I like to create my own watercolor paints and it could be a great tool for that!

🤩💛 Oh WOW, I was excited when I thought you were going to be giving away a pan of your yellow ochre ... never thought it would be something as big as a nix !!! That's Incredible 💛😍 Ps. Love "your imagination golden ticket pan" willy wonka has nothing on dirty blue.

Thanks for the giveaway! I would love the Nix Mini 2 in order to colour match my batches of paint and perfect my recipes. It would be such a great tool for that!

OMG formme that I'm a Nerd of pigments in colours, this tool would be really precious!!! ❤❤❤ I really would love to win it! good luckto all of us! BTW this yello ochre is stunning!

Was the winner already chosen? I tried to follow everything you posted - but I just didn't get it ... Happy Easter!

Two weeks, that could technically still include today if I am lucky. I'm a scientist at heart (and mind), and after some years of illness have over the last year discovered watercolour for myself. Painting has become a release for me and I really want to start making my own colours as well. I've mulled it over, so to speak. Terrible joke.. I know. Anyway - I'd love to use the sensor to get a better grasp on the colours I use, and also those I may make myself. My scientific background sometimes means that I cant just say "Oh, that's a pretty teal" without wondering about what constituent colours make it up. But lets be honest, I will probably be curious and stick it onto nearly everything, just to see what colours may be hidden in it.

Ummm-why wouldn’t I want a mini Nix??? It would be so awesome to nerd out on color information!

I’d love to use it to recreate old discontinued/ limited edition watercolors😆 like holbeins violet grey and schminckes ocean grey

(I am french and it's not easy for me to explain this in english) I would love to have the Nix sensor because I am very sensible to colors and I try to understand them deeply. Colors have a super power of communicating like nothing else in this world. A tiny difference of hue or saturation and it's a total different meaning/ feeling. They talk through feelings like magicians. I can feel it, but I really don't own it. It's so subtile, volatile. I don't have a grab on it... I wish I could really use them better to communicate precisely through my paintings. One thing though, If I have this machine, I know I will go crazy with it and check all colors, every time, everywhere...😅

Waaw, that's a giveaway so worthy... I would love to win it to compare all my lapis lazuli, my growing collection of malachite, azurite, PO49 etc. because after all this collecting - which is a true passion of mine - I would love to find out if it's worth it... (and I know at least 1 paintmaker (DBshop, the maker of this video) that I don't have any doubts about).
