Great App but missing a key feature

I really enjoy this app- It is easy and simple to use to pick out colors from a photograph. I just wish that you could see the picked color on a color wheel. I use different pigments then the ones used in the app( like Ultramarine Blue then pthalo) for mixing and showing the picked color on a color wheel would give artists a good map to mix the selected color without having to follow the prescribed pigments. It would be the ultimate painting app if it had a color wheel. I hope they can implement it an update!

Amazing tool for painters

I use Gamblin oils and this app is amazing!!! There are a good amount of brands to choose from and this app tells you the exact amounts of the exact paint colors to mix the exact colors it color matches for you! Just go through the settings thoroughly to make sure you have everything set the way you need it for the brand you are using. Anyone giving this app a low rating just doesnโ€™t know what they are doing. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you for the great review!

It's not very practical !!

In tis app there is very little variety of colors that is uses .
It uses a few limited colors on each images.

Response from developer

We donโ€™t understand why are you so disappointed to write a 1-star review. The app description clearly says how many paint bases you have to mix the colors of your images. You donโ€™t have any limitation on the target color of your pictures, but physical paint can not cover the rgb color space completely. This is why you have an auto-desaturation function. In some brands you can mix even colors outside the rgb space. This is just physics, not a problem with the app! It is very strange that you donโ€™t know this already if you have an art studio.

Great app to color finding

I love this app. Itโ€™s so helpful to find the color mixing formula to get the right color I need. The only thing I wished it had in the Paint Brand and Line was a watercolor line. I use winsor and newton professional watercolors. The closest line I found was the WN gouache color combination. I can manage but your app is so good at giving the right color name for the gouache that I wished I had access to a watercolor option too. Maybe soon?

Saves time ... and paint!

OMG! This app is exactly what I was hoping to find in the App Store after struggling to create the acrylic paint colors needed while painting canvas to match a photograph. Thank you!

Really useful

Great app for mixing large quantities of paint for projects that started in a digital space but have to be realized in paint.

Amazing tool!

This app has been such a valuable tool to me. It helps to identify color blends easily and accurately, which saves me time and paint!

Wonderful application

I just upgraded to the paid version, because of the numerous brands covered. Itโ€™s very configurable in terms of palette preferences (e.g. no black). It gives me quick pointers to difficult colours (I use a limited CMYK palette). Selecting colors directly from the image eliminates optical tricks/illusions. Highly recommended.

Handy app for Munsell color system

This app does a good job helping me identify Munsell colors from a photograph, better than any of the other apps I have tried.

A few suggestions would be to see the Munsell code on the mixing page. Also allow different base colors for W&N, the ones picked are unusual. Another feature would be to show the Munsell charts, where the mix falls.

Great job!

suggestion

Works as advertised.
The Vermeer painting you use as an example? Old Holland Paints claims it was made with their paints. Currently playing around with these paints & would love to see their pallet included.
