I have a friend who just bought a house and is repainting. I had a good experience back then, so I recommended it to her and showed my own excellent before/after pictures using the app. However, trying out this new version is giving a much worse experience. I’m only able to do one color at a time. It leaves horrible white edging, and the colors bleed from the wall into the ceiling and floor if I turn up the fill. I’m sorry I ever recommended it to her first without double checking it first. ### 2/5 — Gives access to all your photos *2023-10-30* There is no way to just select specific photos without then going back to settings section of your phone each time to reselect different photos. You have to give the app access to every photo on your phone, or if you don’t then you have to go out of the app each time and go to settings and allow different photos, then go back to the app. Takes an eternity. Since i dont want to share every photo it makes the app totally unusable. Once you select initial photos within the app you can’t go back and just select new ones, without changing phone settings each time. The Pinterest link just goes to an error page after I log in to Pinterest so that part doesn’t work either. Super bummed because the one picture I was able to upload brought up beautiful paint colors. But I don’t want to share all my photos just to use the app for a few photos. Needs a better option to allow for data privacy and still use the app! I should at least be able to go to the camera section and click “select new photos” or “add photos” or something. It only shows the previous ones with no option to add unless you do it in the phone settings separately then come back to the app. ### 3/5 — Room for improvement *2023-09-22* The colors groups are Amazing!! Once you select a possible color you also get alternative options that are same color but different gradients AND they give you all of the information you need to purchase the color selected. HOWEVER. the section of the app that allows you to take a picture and try the paint on the walls is useless, app crashes immediately. So you do still need to try the paint before you buy to truly see the color in comparison to its surroundings to ensure how the color matches. But with all the colors this app has, it definitely at least narrows it down heavily and I will highly recommend to everyone. ### 3/5 — Helpful with caveats *2023-09-06* It is nice to take a photo of your room and compare various colors to see how they work with your living space. However the coloring in is glitchy so only an approximation as does not allow for fine tuning, ledges gaps or over-paints into lamp shades and ceilings etc. be AWARE the color on your screen is NOT an exact match of the color in the paint. My best advice is to take the color photo of the color you like and visit the store. Compare the screen color to the sample strips at the store. I found that the color I lived on the app did not look the same at the store, but could use the app picture (screen capture) to compare to the strips at the store and find my color. ### 3/5 — Flaky App *2023-08-01* So far, I find the best way to use this app is to import your photo into Photoshop, then use the select tool for an area that you want to match, then use the filter, blur average in order to get the average color across the area. then send the photo to your phone in order to use the app. From this app, you can access the photo and then sample the average area that you created. (and yes, it would make more sense if you could just do that in the app and also if the app did not freeze and lose photos) ### 4/5 — Project color review *2023-02-11, version 2.13* My family and I have been thinking about repainting or living room ever since we moved into new house. My grandma recently told me about an app where you can test to see how certain colors look in your room. After downloading this app I am here to write an honest review. I think this app is the closest that you can get to the concept. But I still feel like I can’t get the whole picture. I feel as though it is hard for me to tell what the difference is between my actually walls and the color on my screen ### 1/5 — Shotty at best *2023-02-11, version 2.13* The fact these benefits of the app do not function 100% of the time is a problem. The screen freezes on iOS without any apps running in background. No updates or anything available. I pick a color and roll the dice if I can color match or try the paint color on the photo of a room. And don’t get me started on data sharing. It should be something you the company or app developer ask for, not just get by default. Total garbage. This app has a lot of cool benefits but definitely does not deliver. I’ve tried it multiple times. Uninstalling, and giving shot at shot it’s proven to be a waste of time. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for… *2023-01-14, version 2.13* This app is so simple and easy to use (much easier than the mobile website). I love that you can browse and save your favorites without creating an account. It’s also helpful that they have some default pictures of a kitchen, bedroom, etc that you can use to get an idea of what the color looks like in different rooms and on a large scale. You can also use a photo of your own space if you’d like. ### 3/5 — Great concept, some minor annoyances *2022-11-22, version 2.13* The app is okay. I was unable to select a photo to use to see how paint would look on the wall. I was only able to take a picture and use that. When trying different paint colors, it doesn’t take you back to the color palette you were just at. It takes you to the top 50 every time and you have to find the color all over every time which is a pain. Just some minor tweaks and it would be great. ### 5/5 — More helpful then I thought! *2022-08-24, version 2.13* I love this app! It made making the decision more easier for me, at first I didn’t think much of it now I can’t stop using it! Helps with everything would will everything you would need to make your house the way you want it to be! ## Frequently asked questions about Project Color™ The Home Depot ### What does the Project Color app do?
