Great app! But….
The app is good but there is no way to take a photo of a physical colour swatch chart and save those swatches (and their respective names) to a palette that you can also name, so that you can then mix from that palette in real life. Disappointed that I spent $30 to find out that the palettes are limited to sets that I don’t have, it would be awesome to create my own palettes and name the colours so they match my colours I have.

Amazing
For artists that want to help seeing through the clutter of colours and want to simplify a photo into larger block colours and values… this application is amazing.
Great for helping to get the values of an image correct, and as we know getting the values correct is 80% of the battle.
Michelle, thank you for making this application and the very reasonable once-off price given how much work goes into making this app. From a hobby artist to a professional, thank you and please keep developing it.

Brilliant
This app is absolutely genius. Thank you, Michelle for your dedication to Art! I love this app😘
A brilliant accomplishment…
…that keeps getting better and better. Thank you.
You need this!
This is an awesome app if you’re a beginner painter. As important as choosing the right color, you must mix the right value, and for this alone, ChromaMagic is invaluable. Thank you, Michele!
Fantastic!
This is such an impressive app and an incredibly useful tool for artists (like me) who find the Munsell system indispensable for palette choice and color mixing efficiency. Everything about it is so well thought out and beautifully implemented. It's an absolute delight to use. Version 3 was already awesome, but today I updated to version 4 and am blown away by the custom mix tool (and also the bigger image size, which was a VERY welcome improvement). Thank you so much for making my painting life more efficient, more predictable, much less confusing, and more fun! I LOVE this app. 🩷

Game Changer
I can not say enough good about this. This is a fantastic tool for painters. This is simply the best companion to color charts I have found. Thank you so much!
Really Really Good App!
This is by far the best app I have seen in a long time. I watched Paul Foxton use the app in a YouTube video and was like “I have to have that.” It does not disappoint. Exceptionally helpful for artists. Thank you to the developer for creating such an amazing useful tool. Well worth the money.
Best app for painters
I was looking for a good colour picker to check colours when painting, as when with a trained eye it can be hard to really see what’s going on. This is easily the most comprehensive, because it feels designed from the ground up for painters. It helps you understand your image from a values and chroma perspective. I use it all the time to understand and analyse colour and values in images I’m working from. If there was one feature request it would be a min and max values option for the colour picker. But honestly I’m just grateful this app exists at all.

My holy grail
I love this app , Paul Foxton recommended it in his painting tutorials . It really simplifies everything and helped me understand values better than anything else thanks
Excellent
Very thorough, well-made & useful!

Thank you! ChromaMagic aims to be useful so thanks!
Game changer!
I tried all the apps that help with value and chroma but this one is hands down the absolute best. Nothing even comes close. It completely opened up the Munsell color system to me right away. Once you purchase it you can use on you phone or computer! I assume iPad also but I don’t have one of those.

Game Changer
This app has really helped me understand the missing pieces to fully understanding the big three, hue (which is not hard) vale and chroma which are much harder. Honestly amazing! I am still thinking about getting a Munsell book but this app it just really amazing.
I'm back to painting
Thanks to this incredible app, I have started painting again after 24 years. Color matching and mixing were a nightmare, then behold ChromaMagic.
This is an amazing app
This is so useful for accurate values especially. I have been painting for decades but this app threw me into a different level. Give it a try, you won’t regret it
It’s really very good
Very easy to use with a variety of useful functions. Having the samples, mixing suggestions, position on the scale and the reference all in one place/device is excellent. Initially, I had thought that easier printing of samples would have been useful but, after a couple of sessions, I’m not sure this is needed. Love it.

Excellent! Updated Version 3
Great for those new to colour mixing. Easy to use, colour mixing for oil, acrylic, or watercolours following Munsell system - this new version 3 picks the tube colours, and indicates how much of each colour is required - speeds up the process - and shows where those colour mixes should go. Have lots of fun!

Terrific mixing tool
Chroma Magic gives you exactly how to mix a certain color, as on the Munsell color space. You have a nine-value scale, which is what a lot of people mix for their strings. The lowest saturation looks like a 9-value VanDyke brown scale. The highest saturation is whatever is the hue, e.g., cadmium yellow deep; my test showed seven levels of saturation. The color picker shows you within that value/saturation matrix exactly where your color lies. So it’s a great tool to use when you’re not distorting the source colors.

Absolutely amazing app
I’ve never left a review of an app before, but I love this app! It’s crazy how awesome I think this is. I’m new to oil painting and struggle with color and values. This app is absolutely a game changer in helping me learn. Some might consider it a crutch, but watch some of the Paul foxton videos on how he uses it and you’ll likely be sold like I am.

A valuable tool
This app was already special enough to get me to pay for it (rare for me). Also whenever I show it to other people, even non-artists are amazed at its capabilities.
I think it updated, because now it has even more functionality than it did less than a year ago. I was using this app and another one at the same time to do what this app can do all by itself.
It’s a workhorse of an app for me as a painter.
If you’re a painter, just buy it.
