Paletteable
Oil Paint Color Matching
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Paletteable is the essential color matching companion for oil painters. Point your camera at any color in the real world and instantly discover which oil paints—or paint mixtures—will recreate it on canvas.
PREMIUM PAINT DATABASE
Launch with the complete Michael Harding oil paint range—renowned for exceptional pigment quality and artist-grade formulations. Each paint includes detailed information on pigment composition, opacity, tinting strength, drying time, and lightfastness ratings. Know exactly what you're working with before you mix. More brands coming soon.
INTELLIGENT COLOR MATCHING
Our advanced matching algorithm understands how oil paints actually behave. Unlike simple color pickers, Paletteable accounts for how pigments interact when mixed—considering undertones, opacity, and tinting strength to predict real-world results.
SMART MIXING SUGGESTIONS
When a single paint won't match your target color, Paletteable suggests precise mixing recipes. See exactly which paints to combine and in what ratios, with confidence scores that tell you how close the mixture will get. Multiple suggestions let you choose based on paints you already own.
BUILD YOUR PALETTE
Create custom palettes with the paints you actually have on your table. Paletteable will match colors using only your available paints—no more suggestions for colors you don't own. Save multiple palettes for different projects or painting styles.
