Ratings and reviews

Love this app. When it comes to finding just the right color for that painting project. Saves a ton of time running back to the paint store to pick up more color chips. It is also helpful for cross-referencing paint color from one paint brand to another. The only thing it doesn't do is allow you to paint colors onto a photo like the Color Smart app does, but in every other way, this is the only color selection app you'll ever need.

Not intuitive, but, once you figure it out, it's interesting. You will need to use the flashlight for indoor items. It says that it needs to calibrate using a white surface, but, no matter which such I use, including white vinyl siding in total sunlight, it always says that the object is "too dark"! I like that it saves the colors, but, aim at the same thing twice and you'll get variations. Still, this is close to what I needed, so, beggars can't be (color!) choosers.

This is an impressive app! It gives an extremely detailed analysis of the accurate color(s) of whatever item you are scanning for color matching. This is going to make painting, decorating and color coordination easier and more precise than ever. I am actually excited to go get paint that's going to match even the oddest and rarest colors I can come up with.
