Money and time saver

This app seriously saves me time and money, oil paint is expensive and I’ll get pretty close to the color I want just following the app. It took a while to get the palette right, using the camera feature on swatches of paint I own, selecting all the offered paints that where close in tone; ignoring the label; and let the app figure out which was closest. I wish you could just create them with hex code. Once I had done all that it was a dream come true. I can premix colors and make entire palettes prior to starting a painting saving loads of studio time and actual paint. It helps with learning too. Sometimes I can’t get a color, and the app can’t get it either using paint I own which explains a lot. Or sometimes it finds a color with combinations of paint I likely would have never tried on my own, and they work beautiful, like making a skin tone shadow with cad orange, diox purple and burnt sienna. And when you follow the formula you almost always get something very close to what the app shows, and you don’t have to guess which ones you need to change it slightly. Sometimes you have to drastically alter the ratio for strong pigments, the app doesn’t take into account pigment strength. Would love to be able to make palettes with more than twelve colors.

No paid version?

I love the idea of this app, but the ads are annoying. Thanks.

Well thought out app

There aren’t a huge number of similar apps out there to compare against, but this is a great aid to understand paint mixing or to do colour matching.

Great App!

I love this app so much! There needs to be a way to add and delete colors

Missing something here…

The idea is great, but there needs to be more detail in the instructions; at least in an iPhone, where do I find the base palettes? Why can’t I see the full names of colors in the swatch panels?
For beginners, it would also be helpful to have premade palettes of colors based on those typically found in basic sets

Underrated, amazing

Someone else said something about not being able to delete a pallet, you just hold down and you CAN delete a pallet. Haven’t found anything wrong thus far, the app is great. Very pleased that it’s a free app (with some ads) please keep it free!! 🥳 thankyou to the creator

Great!

I spent so long looking for a color mixing app that actually works, and this one does! And it had all the colors i have, amazing

So much potential

This is exactly what I’m looking for expect that there isn’t a paid version so the adds at the bottom cover important text. Ugh. Also, the colors in the color library have names but I can’t see their full name. Also, the color names/references are hard to match with my Liquitex classic set.

Not working anymore

I used when this app works and I have to say was wonderful now it’s not working gives me a message about doesn’t find the color that I’m looking for (136, 0, 170) with basic colors (Y, B, R, B, W)… so sorry

Love this! Just a question

I love this app I use to to prep for my painting projects the only thing I’m confused on is what unit of measurement it uses to calculate? like when you’re selecting a color it says 10 then some percentages …what is the 10?? Grams?? FL ?? I’m just struggling on that but amazing app

Pretty cool, but not enough

I really love the app, but I just want you to add one thing:

The option to add your own colors!

Thanks

Great app! Please expand!!

I’m new to oil painting, and thus, am learning how to mix colors. This app has been SO VERY HELPFUL! I love that I can create different pallets, save color mixes, etc. I really wish I could upload a photo and use a dropper to zero in on a color, then the app shows me how to make that specific color. I’m having to use the dropper in my iPhone’s photo editor to get the RGB number, then input that into this app, so the improvement would save me the hassle of jumping back and forth between apps. Overall, though, I love it and I’ll keep using it as I learn! Thank you, creator!

Good but needs more

Suggestions:
- Ability to delete pallets
- Ability to remove colors from pallets
- Ability to make your own colors on the database
- Drawing

Other than that, it’s a pretty fun app

really good but i wanna add

this app is really good but could you add that when you take a picture of something it can make the same color on the palette and tells you what colour used to make the same colour. example: i ran out of a colour for a painting and dont remember what colours i used so i that i picture of the paint and it would show me what color to mix together to get the color i want

Good

I really want to love it, and I do, but I get frustrated with a few things I wish I could add:
• I really wish I could add colors to the database
• More colors allowed in a pallette
• a search function
• a way to mix colors that you have mixed.

Good tool for beginners

It would be really nice if you increase the color limit in pallet.

Overall good app

Pick color from photo is highly required.

Good tool for beginner of painting! It will much better if you can import a photo and pick color directly on the photo then calculate the mix.

Five stars

I reviews earlier- but I was mistaken. This is an INCREDIBLE app for paint mixing!!! Kaky

Good but can’t delete a palette

This is good a nice colour mixing app. It would be better if you allowed the user to delete a palette though.

Ideal for Airbrushing Colours

Ideal for mixing primary colours or by picking out from a range of colours I.e. a range of reds or blues nearest to a premixed colour them mixed with other premixed colours. A useful improvement would be able to hold a mixed colour as a reference and match it against changes being made.
Worth downloading for a trial.
