Smarty Paints can help. It's your watercolor sidekick: a searchable, stash-organizing, tutorial-matching watercolor app for anyone who's ever said "Shoot, which one's Quin Gold again?" *Search, Discover & Learn* Browse a growing database of 3000+ paints. Filter paints by brand, pigment code, transparency, granulation, and more. Go on, nerd out. *Palette Layouts That Match Real Life* Drag and drop your digital palette to match your real one—so you're not guessing which little paint pot is which. No more cross-referencing paint tubes or binders of hand-labeled swatches. *Color Theory Fast Track* Every palette gets the wheel treatment. Your paints plotted, so the missing slot is obvious at a glance. Find the gap. Plan the next pick. Finally see what "warm blue" means. *Follow Any Video Tutorial With Your Paints* Paste a link or browse tutorials right in the app. Smarty Paints maps every tutorial's paint to your collection — own it, have a dupe, or need to grab it — with property-level comparison so you know *why* a substitute works (or won't). No more pausing to wonder if your Phthalo Blue is close enough to the instructor's Prussian Blue. *Find Dupes (or Mix One Yourself)* Smarty Paints compares transparency, granulation, staining, pigment, and lightfastness across brands, so you can see exactly where a match holds up and where it doesn't. When it doesn't, find a mix recipe using paints you already own. No new tubes required. *Collection & Wishlist Tracking* See what you've got. Spot what you're missing. Track usage, log your favorites, and never buy the same paint twice. (Unless you meant to.) Free features: - Full paint database search - Compare swatches and paint properties across brands - Find dupes and suggested mixes - Browse and match video tutorials to your collection - Create one drag-and-drop palette Want more?

Just hear it from some of the smartest: “I love this app!! It’s so fun to keep track of everything!!” - Michelle S. “I used the app this morning to see if I had a color that matched the one used in the tutorial I was watching. Thankfully I had one that was almost perfect. So it’s a very handy app.” - Barbara H. “I've been looking for an app like this for years. Finally something I can really use to track the pigments I use for each painting. I love it!“ - Tim G. ## Smarty Paints Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/28/97/31/289731cd-5b8c-6a4b-095f-94e698b45f8f/01.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/a0/09/aa/a009aa71-5100-c0a0-46b5-b8f566f2c680/02.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/88/08/5c/88085c70-9b81-2db6-5c20-4cb13d7606a2/07.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/01/57/2e/01572e4b-4f30-b4f3-ad92-a4e05317a09e/03.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/46/ae/9e/46ae9e05-e04c-9d05-d0d5-1691027c8676/04.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/0d/e5/d5/0de5d511-381e-69ec-2490-30e4ece94d38/05.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/07/82/33/078233d9-9113-ceb0-828d-69bfcf33f058/06.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/87/f5/97/87f597d6-02e5-9025-5257-11d725195e47/08.png/1284x2778.png) ## Smarty Paints Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 35 (85%) - 4 stars: 2 (5%) - 3 stars: 1 (2%) - 2 stars: 3 (7%) - 1 stars: 0 (0%) ## Smarty Paints Reviews in United States ### ***** "Excellent" So helpful for learning about paint properties and as a quick reference when planning a painting. I also love being able to match my paints to those used by tutorials, so I have the peace of mind that my materials are up to the task at hand and I can focus on the techniques. -- ae576, 2026-04-27 ### ***** "Excellent" Love being able to see what paints I have and what videos would be worth while watching based on the paints in my pallet. Never knew an app like this existed but I’m thrilled about it now! Plus when I’m shopping for paint I can open this app and see what I already have. This app is a big win for me -- Powmia89, 2026-04-22 ### ***** "Amazing customer service" This app is great and provides lots of useful information. I’m impressed with the customer service, the response is super fast. -- chitiana, 2026-03-12 ### ***** "Incredibly useful" I love how I can search by one or several different brands or by other characteristics, like lightfastness, transparency, staining, and granularity. I also enjoy the fact that it allows me to find replacement pigments. It also ensures that I know what pains I already have in my collection. And lastly, I can create and store groupings by color, brand, or purpose. I recommended it to several of my artist friends. -- Karelles, 2026-01-06 ### ***-- "Cannot search by color, cannot buy app" I had high hopes for this, but after purchasing on my iPad, the developer did not create an iPad version, so it’s in a vertical orientation and not landscape, so you can’t use a keyboard. I tried to purchase on my iPhone anyway, hoping that updates would come, but the app crashes immediately. There is good information in the app, but I would like to retain the brands I choose in a search…I’ve never heard of most of these. I would also like to add paints to my “personal collection” that I can choose from to create a palette, but then be able to “shop” for other paints, looking through the entire catalog. It’s nice that I can choose by transparency and granulation, but I’d also like to be able to choose by a color family. Like maybe I want to find a new transparent, non-granulating pink that’s from Daniel Smith. There is no option to choose only pink paints, so you have to view every paint in a catalog, and they’re pretty mixed up. I expected this to be a way that I could keep track of what paints I’ve purchased, but I don’t think that’s what the app is meant to do. -- Bad Kitty, 2025-05-09 ### ***** "Love this app so much." Yes, it does not sync. And sure that can be a little annoying. But it’s not hard to go through and easily keep track of your paints. So much work went into this app and I greatly appreciate it and the developer. It’s made my life easier, helped me plan my palettes and organize my colors. It even directs you to a quick search to Amazon for paints you are curious about (does not mean you have to buy from there but I have found some great deals once or twice that way). The ability to document my palettes, keep them organized easily by name, and plan special palettes for trips and projects is so nice. Truly love this app and glad I bought it. (Though you can check it out for free). -- SkylerJune, 2024-12-11 ### **--- "Not updated enough." I have had my paid version of this app for several months. I wrote to the developers in May of 2024 asking how often they updated their color swatches. No answer and no updates… -- chuggins12, 2024-08-20 ### ****- "Love this app!" I’ve love this app! It is so handy to have. I have created several palettes and educated myself just through this app. There are just a few things to work through so that it why it is 4 stars. I do realize this is a fairly new app and hopefully improvements will come. For me it was worth the purchase! -- PLE108, 2024-08-08 ### **--- "Does not sync" I bought the palette because the free one does not really do a whole lot. For the price, the app should come with instructions and should be able to sync with my other devices instead of paying again. The search is not extensive which does not include my kuretake colors. I’ll keep it anyway since I’ve already paid. It’s overpriced for limited functionality. -- D Trauma, 2024-05-27 ### **--- "Beware, you can't sync data between your iPhone and iPad" This will maybe someday be a great app, maybe, but for now it has some serious limitations. Here are the 3 I've discovered so far. You can't sync data between devices (I confirmed this w customer support who is basically the app developer herself?) This means that any palette you create on your phone, will not appear on your iPad. It also doesn't seem to recognize on my other device that I bought the "pro" version. Using this on my iPhone means the color swatches are teeny tiny. To drag and move a square around a palette, you'd have to tap an even tinier little "=" icon at the top of each square. If you don't hit the icon JUST right, you can't drag that swatch. If could go the moving around on my iPad, life would be less frustrating. To do so now means recreating all my palettes AGAIN, and paying for the the pro version AGAIN. No, thanks. My favorite palette is 9 columns across and 4 rows down. The app only allows max of 8 columns across, so I had to build it sideways, if that makes sense. Not ideal. My workspace is such that pivoting my palette 90 degrees is not an option. The watercolor enthusiast world is HUGE! I belong to many Facebook groups, one of which has over 44,000 members. The market for a GOOD palette database is enormous. And we share our great finds. I can't say this is one of them yet. -- Papa Guerilla, 2024-05-01 [View all Smarty Paints reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Smarty Paints Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/united-states) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/australia) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/united-kingdom) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/taiwan) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/germany) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/sweden) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/canada) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/ireland) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/switzerland) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/chile) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/china) - [Cyprus](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/cyprus) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/algeria) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/egypt) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/finland) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/france) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/greece) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/hong-kong) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/hungary) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/indonesia) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/india) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/iceland) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/italy) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/lebanon) - [Luxembourg](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/luxembourg) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/pakistan) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/poland) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/portugal) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/romania) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/russia) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/saudi-arabia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/singapore) - [Slovenia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/slovenia) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/slovakia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/thailand) - [Tunisia](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/tunisia) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/turkey) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/ukraine) - [Uzbekistan](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/uzbekistan) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/argentina) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/austria) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/azerbaijan) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/belgium) - [Bermuda](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/bermuda) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/smarty-paints-IRMo/belarus) --- ## 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.
