Description

Model Colors is an application for helping you keep track of your hobby model colors and projects. Have you ever ended up buying the wrong colors because you didn’t remember the exact code of the color you needed or forgot to get that pesky Dunkelgelb that you needed to finish that glorious tank you’re working on? If so, then Model Colors helps you keep track of the colors that you own and the colors that you need to buy. The application contains lists of all colors from a set of brands and you can browse these lists and mark the ones you already own and the ones you need to buy. Currently the app has over 31000 colors included from most big and many small manufacturers.

The lists of your own colors and colors that you need to buy can be easily shared via mail, iMessage etc.

If you mainly use some particular color types or individual colors you can set them as favorites and easily access them from the main menu.

You can check for colors that are similar to a certain color either via color standards like FS, RAL, RLM etc, or via industry standard CIE deltaE 2000 calculations.

Various colors can also be grouped together for quick access into custom color lists. You can keep the colors you normally use for US airplanes in one list and colors you use for fantasy miniatures in another, making them easy to find.

Currently the following brands and color lists are represented, in total over 33000 colors and other products:

You can also add the models that you are working on or plan to build in the future. For each model you can register the colors that are required and make sure that you don't forget to buy any essential colors. Each model can have a photos associated with it as well as notes. Using the notes and photos it is easy to keep a build diary or just keep track of things that you need to do at some point.

Model Colors requires iCloud and iCloud Drive to be enabled for the app to work. iCloud Drive is used to save photos and documents for our models.

Model Colors includes a voluntary subscription in order to support the application development. For now the app can also be used completely for free.

Can’t do without this!

If you enjoy modeling of aircraft, tanks, ships, trains, etc, and have a large paint collection or need a place to note your paint requirements, this is THE app to have. Before I found this, I was in the process of logging everything I had and needed on an Excel spreadsheet. This goes far beyond a spreadsheet by providing paint chips of the color you select, giving a visual reference of the color, as well linking colors to projects, so you can identify what you need. It also includes a large list of paint collections; not just the major brands such as Vallejo, Ammo, and Testors, but many others that are not well known (to me at least).

Best of all, it is free. There is a tip jar, which I will be filling shortly, as I want this app to continue well into the future, but there is no pressure to pay for the app. No advertisements either.

Great App!

I’ve used this app for about three years. I find it to be wonderfully helpful! Yes, there was a time after an IOS update that it crashed when I would scroll down my HUGE stash of models, but the developer has been very responsive and dedicated, and was eventually able to identify the problem. In my case it was because of my 220+ model stash. Now it works like a charm. If you identify a problem get involved with his Discord development thread. He’s a great guy. Realize that he is a one man show not a company, and this is a hobby for him not how he makes a living. Be patient, and participate in testing with him. I’m 100% happy with this app and hope the developer continues supporting it for years to come!

Very good!

I just got back into miniature painting after a long hiatus. While the focus of this app is not on wargaming/miniature painting, it has a very complete database of colors from a wide selection of brands.

The UI is admittedly a little clunky, but it only takes a little while to work with it and it all makes sense. The other thing is the Model scales all apply to, say, model airplanes/tanks/cars, that sort of thing, but I am a miniature painter. I’d love to see applicable scales for that sort of thing.

These minor quibbles I have aren’t enough for me to knock off anything from my rating, though. If you paint models of any sort, this is a great way to track your paint inventory and catalog your work! Kudos to the app developer for his/her hard work!
