## What is Pigments Studio?

Pigments Studio helps you discover color relationships, extract palettes from photos, and build a personal library of colors for future projects.

Explore complementary, split-complementary, triadic, tetradic, and analogous color schemes with the interactive color wheel. Fine-tune colors by adding tint, tone, shade, or color variations, or match an existing color to see how it transforms the entire palette.

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2026-02-04*

Not worth the price

### 2/5 — This is stupid

*2022-05-18*

I hate it

### 1/5 — What are the instructions?

*2021-05-05*

I am trying to find out how to work this and it doesn’t tell me anything.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

The app has been completely redesigned since your review, with a more intuitive interface and contextual tips to help new users get started.

The color wheel represents the full range of hues. You can transform the wheel by adding color, tint, tone, or shade, then select a harmony scheme (such as complementary, triadic, or analogous) and rotate the wheel to explore related color combinations.

I hope you'll consider giving the latest version a try!

### 3/5 — Add in own hex values

*2021-04-14*

Is there someway in the free version for me to enter a hex value that I want to start with? Is that available in the paid version?

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great suggestion! It took a little longer than expected, but I’m happy to say this feature is now available.

The latest version of Pigments Studio supports HEX color input, along with many other improvements including color matching, saved palettes, and a completely redesigned experience. I hope you’ll give it another try!

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2021-03-05*

You can’t mix the colors can’t use the top tool bar....

**Developer response:** Hi Brian, I’m sorry to hear that. Please help me understanding the issue by answering the following questions: 
What iPhone or iPad model are you using? 
What happens when you select a color? Does the slider appear? 
Can you tap on the wheel sector to see the hex code?

### 5/5 — So bad

*2020-08-21*

Full of ads and some some app stops working cuz of ads

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you had that experience.

The app has been completely redesigned since this review was posted, and it no longer contains ads. I've also made significant improvements to stability, performance, and the overall experience.

If you're willing to give Pigments Studio another try, I'd love to hear what you think of the latest version.

### 1/5 — I purchased this app

*2019-10-13*

I purchased this app, its asking me to restore purchase, but it does nothing. Why am I seeing ads for an app I paid for? Whats going on? I want my money back, this is a scam

**Developer response:** Hello!
The Pocket Color Wheel app is free to download. You can make in-app purchase to remove the adds. If you previously have made a purchase and reinstalled the app you can restore your purchase. Please make sure you are connected to the internet and logged in to your Apple account in your device settings.

### 5/5 — Cool app!

*2019-03-27*

Like another rater said, it’s nice to not be hounded by ads. Kudos to the developer for making this app - it helps highlight color relationships, and lets you tweak colors/saturation/combinations to your hearts content. Kind of makes me feel like a budding Ellsworth Kelly...

### 5/5 — It’s nice not to be hounded by ads

*2019-02-08*

I really like the way the developer found a good compromise between showing ads all the time and showing none at all. I don’t like apps that pester you with ads: ads when the app launches,  ads that pop as the apps is being used, and ads that take up screen space. I get it the developer needs to get paid and relying on folks to pay for what they like is not a good option. So yeah one video ad every three days is really not a big deal for me. 

Ok what I really like pocket color wheel is the intuitive graphical interface. The ui is clean and easy to use. Simple and elegant and invaluable tool.

### 5/5 — Nice features

*2019-01-28*

I like the tone and tint features especially.

**Developer response:** Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the tint and tone features.

Since your review, the app has evolved into Pigments Studio with a completely redesigned interface, saved palettes, HEX color support, color matching, and many new tools for exploring color relationships.

I appreciate your support and hope you enjoy the latest version!
