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.
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.
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!
Instructions are easy
Instructions are clear and easy, just need to get the base white paint swatches before starting.
I used 2 different paint swatches and took images in about 6 different areas. I didn’t get the same 1 2 & 3 color recommendations each time, but my ceiling has knockdown and creates small shadows everywhere. I counted all the colors that showed up in the top 3 recommendations.
The color that showed up the most times ended up being 100% accurate.
Did not work
The app was difficult to navigate and did not even come close to matching paint color.
worked well
this app saved me from having to paint my entire ceiling. It took me a bit to figure out how to use it. The instructions weren’t very clear, but once I got it figured out, I was able to match the paint color to my ceiling and didn’t have to paint the whole thing. Amazing. Thank you for putting the time in to make this thing work.
Good idea must worked in certain environments
Hi I got the white chip 7006 from Sherwin Williams and placed any color chip according to your photo tips your app would always mis identify the color chip, I felt perhaps the lighting and other condition like iPhone HW would play into this? In reality since lots of pine woods are textured so this app did not detect much, I decided to give a five star and my free donation as a encouragement for the developers to share more of h the app limitation and maybe improve it because after all it’s a go
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 fina

Cool idea, sadly did work
Yes, this app is a bit tricky to use. In particular, it would be nicer if it had some type of eye dropper tool to make sampling the swatches easier and more flexible.
However, I rated it low because the color match was not sufficiently accurate. It makes sense that a standard color swatch would help calibrate the process. So, I got the standard white swatch from Benjamin Moore as well as a few sample paint chips to test against. For the ones I tried, the proposed match list didn’t include the
No support
App is useless without one of several “paint chips” with standard white color. They give you a list but zero support in getting those in your home to take the needed photo.
Doesn’t really work
I purchased this app and followed all the instructions, but colors don’t match. I even tried with a vendor paint chip against the white reference chip and the app never guessed the right color. Maybe it’s sensitive to lighting conditions?
Also the apps identifiers for paint chips/colors seem out of date (for behr anyway)
