## What is Penzel?

Penzel is the pocket-sized paint reference every miniature painter needs.

- INSTANT COLOR MATCH
Type any paint name — Citadel, Vallejo Game Color, Vallejo Model Color, Reaper Master Series, Army Painter, AK 3rd Gen, Scale75 — and see its equivalent across every brand in your collection. Confidence scores included. Built for Warhammer and D&D painters from community-vetted cross-references.

- HAND-CURATED RECIPES
48 step-by-step recipes for the techniques painters search for most: NMM gold, silver, copper. OSL (yellow eyes, blue weapons, red glow, candle/lantern). Skin tones — beginner, advanced, dark, undead, alien green. Edge highlighting on every armor color. Freehand. Weathering: chipping, rust, mud, dust, battle damage. Basing: rocky, urban, snow, jungle, magnetic. Wet blending. Glazing. Drybrushing. Contrast paints including slap-chop. Gemstones. Transparent reds. Every recipe lists the paints needed, the steps in order, the common mistakes to avoid, and links to the source article you can read for more depth.

- DIAGNOSE PAINTING PROBLEMS
50 patterns for the questions every painter asks. "Why is my skin chalky?" "Why are my highlights jumping?" "Why is the wash pooling on flat surfaces?" Each diagnostic ranks causes by likelihood (Most Likely / Common / Less Common) and pairs each cause with the fix. Linked to the relevant recipes in the app.

- OFFLINE, FAST, PRIVATE
Everything bundled in the app. Works on the train, at the table, with no signal. No accounts. No subscription. No ads. No personal data collected.

- ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Free tier: 5 paint conversions per day, half the recipes. Full Access: $9.99 once. Unlock everything forever. Includes future content updates.

Penzel is built and maintained by a hobby painter who got tired of switching apps and tabs every time a tutorial called for a paint we didn't own.

Penzel is not affiliated with Games Workshop, Citadel Miniatures, Forge World, Vallejo, AK Interactive, Scale75, Army Painter, Reaper Miniatures, Wizards of the Coast, or Goonhammer. Paint and brand names are referenced as factual product information.
