Smarty Paints
Know Your Watercolors
Free · In-App Purchases
Watercolor paints, simplified: track what you own, find close-enough dupes, match your stash to any class supplies list, and finally remember which blue is *that* blue.
- Can't remember which watercolor paints you already have at home?
- Forgot which red you put in that palette, or whether it stains, granulates, or glazes?
- Following a video tutorial and not sure your paint substitutes will behave the same way?
- Or if you could *mix* a substitute with paints you already own?
Smarty Paints can help.
It's your watercolor sidekick: a searchable, stash-organizing, tutorial-matching watercolor app for anyone who's ever said "Shoot, which one's Quin Gold again?"
*Search, Discover & Learn*
Browse a growing database of 3000+ paints.
Filter paints by brand, pigment code, transparency, granulation, and more.
Go on, nerd out.
*Palette Layouts That Match Real Life*
Drag and drop your digital palette to match your real one—so you're not guessing which little paint pot is which.
No more cross-referencing paint tubes or binders of hand-labeled swatches.
*Follow Any Video Tutorial With Your Paints*
Paste a link or browse tutorials right in the app. Smarty Paints maps every tutorial's paint to your collection — own it, have a dupe, or need to grab it — with property-level comparison so you know *why* a substitute works (or won't).
No more pausing to wonder if your Phthalo Blue is close enough to the instructor's Prussian Blue.
*Find Dupes (or Mix One Yourself)*
Smarty Paints compares transparency, granulation, staining, pigment, and lightfastness across brands, so you can see exactly where a match holds up and where it doesn't.
When it doesn't, find a mix recipe using paints you already own. No new tubes required.
*Collection & Wishlist Tracking*
See what you've got. Spot what you're missing.
Track usage, log your favorites, and never buy the same paint twice.
(Unless you meant to.)
