### 1/5 — So inaccurate

*2026-04-07*

EDIT - to the developer who responded to me and said it may vary with brands- I’ll try to get a shadow color out of a photo and it will tell me to mix Pthalo green with white. That’s so insane. Those two colors make a REALLY almost neon green that is miles from a bluish/grey shadow color.  I paid for the yearly subscription but this app has yet to deliver any value to me.  I’ll keep trying and hope you can make some much needed changes. 


What am I doing wrong?  These color recipes are so far off it’s not even funny.  😩

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.Will definitely investigate this issue.
FYI There will be difference among different brands and one mix from one brand of oil mix may not exactly match with the target pic.
