À télécharger d’urgence!

Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore cette application, c’est un des référentiels les plus complets pour les gammes de couleur. Un top! À vos pinceaux!

Best in category, but…

I think this app is perfect, the scan by barcode is AWESOME, but… it misses a simple feature: if the paint isn’t in the catalogs, PLEASE update the catalogs or add the option to create them myself. For example, non of the Vallejo XPRESS COLOR is in the app!!! Please, add this feature!!
