Grey to Glory

Miniature painting helper

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Try another color on your miniature’s photo, place a light source in relief, share your creation. No account, no ads. Grey to Glory is the miniature painter’s pocket studio: your pots, your colors, your recipes and the progress of your miniatures, all in one place. Free, no account, no ads and no data collection: everything stays on your device, and everything works offline except loading the reference artworks. YOUR PAINTS • A catalog of more than 11,000 paints from 31 brands, searchable by name, code, hue or hex. • Your shelf in one tap, your favorite pots always first in every search. • A shopping list: mark a pot “to buy”, tick it at the store, it joins your shelf. • Scan a pot’s label with the camera to find it in the catalog, or photograph several pots at once. COLORS • A touch color wheel and seven harmonies (complementary, triad, analogous…). • The closest paints to any color, with their ΔE difference. • Mixes worked out from your own pots, or from primaries, white and black; keep the best ones. • More than 400 public-domain artworks for inspiration. LIGHT • Volumes: where to place deep shadow, shadow, base, highlight and spot highlight on a sphere, a cloak, a head… • For each tone, the paint to use in your favorite brand. • Light effects: non-metallic metal (NMM) and object source lighting (OSL), with their tones and placement rules. • Source lighting in relief: drag the light with your finger, on the shape or further away; it only lights what faces it, even on a hat or a cloak. • Step-by-step guided exercises to place shadows and highlights. YOUR MINIATURES • A photo, boxed zones, and for each zone a five-tone recipe suggested automatically, which you validate. • Progress step by step, from prep to varnish, and an overview of your projects: what waits, what moves, what is done. • The pots a recipe is missing go straight to your shopping list. • Try another color on a zone of the photo, shadows and highlights kept, before adopting it. • Simulate a 70/20/10 scheme on the photo of your primed miniature to see the result before you paint. • Export the recipe as text or as an image, and share your miniature’s scheme: it adapts to the pots of whoever receives it. COMMUNITY • Share a miniature as a picture: photo, palette, your signature and a QR code that opens the scheme. • Your painter card (nickname, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok) on the pictures you share. • The Grey to Glory Discord, in English, French, Spanish and German. TO LEARN • 18 technique sheets: washes, drybrushing, glazing, two-brush blending, priming, varnish, NMM, OSL… Back up your studio to a file and restore it on another device. Catalog colors come from a community dataset: they are approximate, and no screen shows a pot exactly. Grey to Glory is not affiliated with any paint brand.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Learn2Paint becomes Grey to Glory, with a new icon. • Source lighting (OSL) in relief: drag the light with your finger; it only lights what faces it, even on complex shapes. • Step-by-step guided exercises in Volumes. • Community: share a miniature as a picture (palette, your signature, a QR code to import the scheme), your painter card and the Grey to Glory Discord. • Choose which paint families recipes suggest (classic, contrast, washes…), and “From my pots” to start from your shelf. • Undo and redo, a magnifier on the eyedropper, an iPad-friendly layout and a native tab bar.
