Paco
Read full descriptionHide full description
Paco is a paint conversion table and list keeper for miniature painters. Found a recipe that calls for a paint you do not own? Paco shows you the closest equivalents across Citadel, Vallejo and The Army Painter, ranked by how close the match actually is, not by a guess, but by a measured colour distance between the two paints. BUILD YOUR LISTS Keep a list per army, per project, or per shelf. Give each one a name, an emblem and a banner colour, and add paints to it as you go. Lists are grouped by paint category so a long one stays readable. SEARCH THE CATALOGUE Fuzzy search across every paint in the catalogue by name or brand. Filter to a single brand when you already know what you are shopping for. Every result shows its swatch, its hex value, and the equivalents in the other two ranges with a delta score for each — so you can tell a near-perfect substitute from a rough one at a glance. WORKS WITH THE RADIO OFF Paco ships the whole catalogue inside the app. There is no loading screen, no sign-in and no "you appear to be offline". It quietly checks for an updated catalogue when you open it, and if that check fails — no signal, aeroplane mode, hobby shop basement — nothing about the app changes. NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING There is no sign-up, because there is nothing to sign up to. Paco has no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting. Your lists live on your device and are never uploaded. The app talks to exactly one host, for the public paint colour tables it is built on, and it sends nothing about you with it. Paco is free, and every part of it is. No feature is locked, limited or nagged about. — The Paint Codex design is by Lukas Stordeur (github.com/LukasStordeur).
