Tintsmith: Color Mixing Puzzle
Mix paint. Restore paintings.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Mix simulated pigments, restore illustrated paintings, and collect palettes. Discover the pleasure of finding the right color.
A painting arrives in your studio with its color gone. Add pigments to your bowl, find each missing color, and watch the painting return one region at a time.
DISCOVER COLOR THROUGH PLAY
Experiment with twenty-one simulated pigments inspired by historical palettes. Their colors come from an authored spectral mixing model: a playful interpretation of subtractive color, with its own consistent rules. These are simulated materials, not measured reproductions of physical paints.
SIX ROOMS TO EXPLORE
SALON — a free daily trio shaped by your local calendar date and the formats you have learned. Compare results with seven clearly identified simulated apprentices.
JOURNEY — 240 plates across six acts, building from light and dark to more demanding mixtures. Each new pigment arrives with its story. In the first act the bowl shows your mix as you add to it; from the second act on, you predict.
MASTERS — fifty five-color palettes. Complete a palette to earn its studio atmosphere, and try Appraisal to identify altered mixtures.
COMMISSIONS — three optional free short lessons introduce painting; every numbered area is a single color. Then explore twelve detailed painted interpretations, mixing numbered colors and restoring precise regions. Named regions and magnified detail views help with small areas; intricate focal details stay intact and decorations return with their surroundings. Finished paintings replay and export a short time-lapse. Earlier saved work remains accessible separately. Fixed-chest Contracts add another challenge: every unit matters.
ATELIER — experiment without stars, a budget, or par. Name colors, arrange boards, and revisit your mixtures.
LIBRARY — keep a gallery of the colors, palettes, and restoration records you have earned, with sharing and export tools.
Atelier also offers three optional Color studies. Mix a target, compare the exact recipes, then try a second target using the same idea. Keep your color or continue to a free painting lesson.
A GENEROUS PLACE TO BEGIN
Start with all 40 Cave plates and the first chapter of the Tomb, the daily Salon, three painting lessons, The Wave Contract and The Lantern Tide detailed painting, two Masters palettes, and four Atelier pigments. The studio's rooms open one at a time as you paint. The Library holds the work you earn.
Tintsmith Complete is a permanent, one-time unlock for Acts II–VI beyond the free sampler, all remaining painting studies and masterpieces, Contracts, the remaining Masters palettes, and all twenty-one Atelier pigments. It removes every ad and ad offer. Optional Patron support adds two atmosphere themes; it adds no gameplay advantage.
Free play includes occasional ads between Journey plates and an optional ad for 30 minutes of active play without ads. There are no banners or ads during puzzles. Complete removes every ad and ad offer. There are no subscriptions, energy systems, paid hints, or paid retries. The purchase screen shows the price supplied by your App Store storefront.
MADE FOR UNHURRIED DISCOVERY
Every shipped Journey plate is checked by the solver for a solution within its budget. Ordinary Journey play offers free Navigator guidance; Examinations and special challenges follow their own stated rules.
Color notation adds words for value, warmth, and strength. Settings includes sound, haptics, and Reduce Motion controls. Progress export and import let you keep a manual copy of supported progress and collections. Unfinished Contracts, mixtures, Color studies and settings stay on their original device and are excluded from progress exports.
The paintings are the studio's own interpretations inspired by art history, including vector drawings and a revised collection of AI-assisted painted interpretations. They are not museum scans, exact reproductions or digital conservation tools. Launch language: English.
Atelier Proportions gives finer control, with visible pigment amounts and percentage shares.
