Or maybe find lighter or darker colors of the same hue, or possibly complementary colors? FindPaintColor finds the best-match paint colors from thousands available from major paint vendors, by analyzing a photo of your unknown color with a specified white color chip available free from your paint dealer. The photo is taken within the app, and must be taken in natural (window) lighting only. Although other high-accuracy solutions require an external color sensor, FindPaintColor uses the iPhone camera and advanced image processing, so no separate color measurement device is required. Accuracy is similar to external color sensing devices, and will identify the nearest few color chips for your final match, including the many that are available but not usually on display at your paint store. The app can save multiple trips back and forth to your dealer and eliminates the vexing need to bring in a sample. It finds paints from these four major paint vendors: Behr, Benjamin Moore, PPG, and Sherwin Williams. The app also finds paints darker or lighter than your color, and complementary colors, using industry-standard color wheel methods. It provides industry-standard ‘sRGB’ (standard Red Green Blue) values, to allow finding paints from other vendors. It also shows HSV (Hue Saturation Value) and LRV (Light Reflectance Value) numbers, to help you compare colors numerically as well as by eye. The required white color chip is used by the app to measure ambient light – a must for accuracy, and as long used by professional photographers to ensure color accuracy. This white chip may be any one of the following, available free from your paint dealer: Behr: PR-W15 (PPU18-06) Ultra Pure White PR-W14U Bit of Sugar Benjamin Moore: OC-65 (2120-70) Chantilly Lace OC-68 Distant Gray PPG: PPG1172-1 Snow Storm PPG1049-1 Snowy Mount Sherwin Williams: SW 7757 Highly Reflective White SW 7006 Extra White Any one of the above chips will work to find the closest colors from all four paint vendors. The app provides simple instructions for use, and trial demonstration photos to ensure a smooth start. ## FindPaintColor Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/4d/cc/79/4dcc794d-6259-8241-fd0c-a30ee4f680a7/5d56e875-75cd-4188-bab6-cc7cf97b4d95_NextImage1TakePix6Dot5Apr11-2024.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/94/8c/63/948c6342-7ff4-b39a-284e-46c13443300a/16666905-e932-4a87-b6b1-bba72eb31598_NextImage2ExpView6Dot5Apr5-2024.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/5c/f6/58/5cf658a9-6380-3638-4073-a044cc7d57e3/0c8ba02a-0c0d-4705-8b54-9494c5957d11_NextImage3LighterDarker6Dot5Apr6-2024.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/07/2f/1b/072f1b0d-ea84-b843-2443-ab96cac4547e/ed9223dc-f334-4df9-9539-abdeb9c3f39f_NextImage4CmplColors6Dot5Apr6-2024.png/1284x2778.png) ## FindPaintColor Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 6 (27%) - 4 stars: 1 (5%) - 3 stars: 1 (5%) - 2 stars: 4 (18%) - 1 stars: 10 (45%) ## FindPaintColor Reviews in United States ### *---- "Terrible" Does even come close. Does not align correctly try a different one. -- VMR19, 2025-01-15 ### ***** "Highly Rec" This app is amazing, I tried to match an existing wall in my house but couldn’t take a sample bc the wall is plaster. This app is exactly what I was looking for and helped me to identify the paint color that the previous owner used. Well done! -- Yellster22, 2025-01-09 ### *---- "Warning - requires physical color samples" What a ripoff. Charges you upfront but only works if you have a physical color sample. Not recommended. -- Btl1964, 2024-12-05 ### ***** "Great app, it works" The bad reviews are wrong. They don’t know how to read instructions. Follow the examples and it works incredibly well. Thank you for creating this app. -- FoxhunterTodd, 2024-10-31 ### ***-- "Not the app’s fault" My mistake. Maybe someone who is more knowledgeable about color profiling will find this app useful, but it isn’t what I need. When I googled the phrase “color matching app from photo” this app came up as a choice. You can take a photo with the app, but I had a difficult time figuring out what to do afterwards. I wanted something basic. I’m sure this app would be great for someone that wants or needs more. -- Pebbles999, 2024-10-01 ### *---- "Cannot upload photo" As others have stated, this app is terrible. It’s not intuitive. You cannot upload your own photo. I shouldn’t hold have read reviews. I’m disappoint this app was listed as a top result for color matching photos. -- PDO2000, 2024-08-30 ### ***** "It really works." I recently moved into a resale home that is less than a year old. Since it has the original builder paint job it is a very thin coat and it got a few scratches while moving in. I emailed the builder’s rep for our development to ask him what brand and color pain they used. I hadn’t heard back from in for a few days so I downloaded this app. When using the app, I determined that my color was SW 7008- Alabaster. I went to Lowe’s yesterday and bought a quart and it’s a great match. Then today I finally heard back from the builder…they used SW 7008- Alabaster! I thought the app was very intuitive and easy to use, and most of all….ACCURATE! -- Rxdtyart, 2024-05-20 ### *---- "doesn’t work how one would expect" you can’t upload an image to detect colors. it doesn’t have baseline white chips already in the app, you have to go get them & take a photo with (complicated) specific instructions. not helpful for regular people. -- LuckyGirlOC, 2024-04-05 ### *---- "No. No. NO!" Friends-I own a software company. I have worked with computers for over 20 years and after an hour trying to find some way to upload a photo I simply quit. Caveat Emptor! This one is bad/real bad. I should have read the reviews-that’s my mistake. -- Bobd27293, 2024-03-18 ### *---- "Terrible app" This app is just terrible. There’s nobody that actually buys this then uses it. You can even upload photos. You can only take Live Photos. Junk. -- Horrible paint app, 2024-03-10 [View all FindPaintColor reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## FindPaintColor Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United States | Utilities | #98 | ## Apps Similar to FindPaintColor - [Simple Timecode Calculator](https://apptail.io/app/simple-timecode-calculator-VrKb/united-states) - [Teleprompter Controller](https://apptail.io/app/teleprompter-controller-fvXb/united-states) - [MiniGadgets](https://apptail.io/app/minigadgets-LSod/united-states) - [Hiboy-J5](https://apptail.io/app/hiboy-j5-SVHd/united-states) - [Variable Color](https://apptail.io/app/variable-color-fbAe/united-states) - [Model Paints](https://apptail.io/app/model-paints-gfEe/united-states) - [BriteHome](https://apptail.io/app/britehome-vdOf/united-states) - [InstColor](https://apptail.io/app/instcolor-zShj/united-states) - [HVAC Duct Size Calculator](https://apptail.io/app/hvac-duct-size-calculator-hRXk/united-states) - [Spatialify](https://apptail.io/app/spatialify-kVAo/united-states) ## FindPaintColor Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/findpaintcolor-pIyj/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/findpaintcolor-pIyj/canada) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
