Without a subscription you can use the app only with the Ideal Paint Set. RPaintPro use measured paint spectral information of painted samples. Big part of the RGB/P3 space can be mixed, but not all RGB/P3 colors. This is not a limitation of the apps, just physics. There are also many colors which can be mixed even if they don't belong to the RGB/P3 color space (you can find these by varying manually the paint amount on the "mixing" page). Paint recipes can use several Mixing Strategies: - “B and W + 2 Colors”: a gray is mixed using Black and White first, then 2 colored bases set Hue and Saturation. - “B or W + 3 Colors”: 3 colored bases are used to set Hue and Saturation and Black OR White set the Value - “at least one opaque”: all possible opaque mixing combinations are shown - “no Black used”: opaque mixing combinations without Black Each recipe can be Exact or Rounded: - “Exact recipe” means that each base has an amount with a precision of 0.01 units. If you need % values of each paint base amount, just enter 100 as amount. Exact setting is helpful for weight based measurements using a scale. - “Rounded recipe” means that each base has an integer number as amount. The recipe will have the minimum possible overall amount computed adding all paint base amounts. The rounded recipes are useful for volume based measurements, like drops, using spoons or squared paper with paint squeezed directly from tubes. Please note that color of paint coming from various parts of a tube/jar or from different batches of the manufacturer can vary, so mix always small amounts first to be sure that computed recipes meet your needs!

By taking the guess work out I am able to get right to work while saving on expensive paints. Recommendations. I would like to see continued improvements on new paints that are offered by paint manufacturers. In addition an updated and complete list of existing products would also benefit new clients as I am who have a stockpile of paints in the bag. Great work and highly recommend the purchase. ### 3/5 — Limited paint range *2025-10-11, version 1.25.5* I’ve got Talens Rembrandt series 3 oils. It loos like the app only supports an older series as most of my colours aren’t available. ### 3/5 — Cancelling through Apple *2025-05-08* I just paid for a 3 month subscription but unfortunately I can’t use it because there are No watercolor libraries. I cancelled through Apple but I’m still charged for the 3 months. Please help! **Developer response:** You have 7 days of free use of the app and you can cancel your subscription easily. We don’t have access to your personal info. Subscriptions are handled directly by Apple. Please note also that you have the full list of brands and paint line on the store and it’s clearly stated that only opaque paint is included! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-04-15* I just tried the app for the first time today and I’m thrilled. I’ve been a ‘weekend’ painter for many, many years and I still hate mixing paint. This is a game changer. I sometimes needed to tweak the final mix a little and I’d love more paint selections but I had plenty that matched the available options and it worked like a charm. I also loved that it remembered the area I was matching because sometimes I forget by the time I get back to the painting. I was snoopy dancing all over the ‘art’ room. This will be worth every penny. Thank you! O, it also remembered my oil colors and my acrylics when I switched between the two. 👍 ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-03-05, version 1.25.5* Didn’t even open ### 5/5 — My New Favorite Toy *2024-10-03* I love everything about this app. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-08-03, version 1.25.4* It’s almost useless, if you work with oil paint because it doesn’t use the names of real oil colors (just blue, red white and so on) ### 5/5 — Excellent App For Painters *2024-05-02* I’m a professional artist and use this app almost every day. Even though I know color theory and how to mix paints, it’s nice to sometimes get a little help. There have been times that what looked blue to my eye has actually been more green, etc. It’s very easy to set up. Their customer service is great and has always responded quickly. It’s definitely worth more than $15 a year (Developer please don’t increase the price just because I said that :-)). ### 5/5 — Very useful app! *2023-08-15* Great documentation on website linked in Settings. Intuitive. Paint brand selection is adequate because most colors don’t change a lot across brands. A super-bargain at $15/year! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! We put a huge effort in making the app as good and useful as possible. We are happy when painters appreciate it! ## Frequently asked questions about Real Paint mixing tools PRO ### What is Real Paint mixing tools PRO?
