It’s not perfect but it’s fairly accurate. It’s also fairly accurate for predicting a gamut of mixable colors from 3 starting pigments. In this case you draw a triangle from your three pigments and the possible mixes more or less sit within the triangle. Again it’s not perfect but it’s a decent rough guide.
