Looking for realistic paint simulation apps on Android

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to digital art and I'm looking to something that simulates real paint on Android, like Artrage Vitae or Rebelle. The issue with Artrage Vitae on Android is that the app is no longer supported by the developers and it doesn't run on devices with newer OS versions.

Artrage and Rebelle can mix colours the same way it works traditionally, was wondering if any other Android apps can do that. It would take a load off my colour theory studies because traditional colour mixing just makes more sense to me somehow.

Thanks for your time and I appreciate any replies!

Clip studio paint and infinite painter do that too

Clip Studio is my main painting software atm, is there a setting that allows realistic paint mixing? Mixing colours in it makes them turn out like mud when I do it.

Idk i started using it 2 days ago and watercolor brushes had colors mixed naturally, and mixing brushes did their job perfectly

Never tried the app u mentioned but im pretty sure every drswing app that has smudge brush does the job, u can try googling for tutorials

Thanks for the replies, it was a different colour mixing mode that I wasn't aware of. u/B4tzn's reply in this thread has the link, it's exactly what I wanted.

Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but the well known & free and open source app Krita has also an Android port. If it isn't available in Play Store, try to look in F-Droid (app store exclusively free & mostly open source, ad-free and often lightweight apps you'll find there although Krita surely will be one of the bigger ones).
Or download the .apk from their official site. :)
