## What is Mana Palette?

Mana Palette is a color-study tool for miniature painters, illustrators, and designers — a quiet studio built around one artwork at a time.

DISCOVER — Shuffle random Magic: The Gathering artworks with mana color filters, set search, artist lock, and theme search. Artist, card and source are always credited; bookmark references into your gallery.

ANALYZE — A precision eyedropper with pixel loupe and adjustable sample size (1×1 to 25×25 px, correctly averaged), value study (luminance) and shape study (simplified color fields — the picker samples exactly what you see). You can also load your own image for analysis; it stays on your device.

PALETTES — Collect up to 12 colors with notes and tags (per palette and per color), matched against 9 miniature paint ranges (Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, AK Gen3, P3, Golden SoFlat, Scale75, Reaper, Pro Acryl) via CIEDE2000 — with an adjustable dE threshold so you only see paints that really match. Shopping list included.

EXPORT — Auto palette and working palettes as hex list, PNG swatch card (with color data and best paint per swatch), GPL (GIMP/Krita), CSV, and JSON — via the iOS share sheet.

No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays local on your device. Works in portrait and landscape.
