Match My Paint Color
Match Paint Across Brands
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Compare 25,000+ colors across 13 brands. Scan a paint label or shortlist colors from a room photo—privately on your iPhone.
Find the closest paint color across 13 major brands—even when all you have is a can label or a photo of the wall.
MATCH ACROSS BRANDS
Search more than 25,000 current and discontinued manufacturer colors by name, brand, code, or legacy alias. Choose a color to see the closest active option from every other brand.
SCAN A PAINT LABEL
Point your camera at a paint can or choose a label photo. On-device text recognition reads the manufacturer, color name, and code, then lets you confirm the catalog identity before comparing it.
SHORTLIST FROM A PHOTO
Photograph a painted surface, select a clean sample area, and optionally calibrate with a known paint chip or gray card. The app returns an honest confidence-banded shortlist instead of claiming a camera can make an exact measurement.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Every comparison includes perceptual CIEDE2000 distance, lightness, chroma, hue, and Light Reflectance Value context. If a brand's nearest option is visibly different, the app says so.
PRIVATE AND OFFLINE-FIRST
The full catalog works without an account or internet connection. Searches, favorites, recents, label recognition, and photo analysis stay on your iPhone. Selected photos are not uploaded.
