Sherwin-Williams Color Expert‪™‬ 4+

Glitchy, but otherwise great!

Love this app except for its IT issue. It gave me session timed out 3 times but charged me 3 times (?). Would be perfect after tech glitches are resolved

Hi iPad3, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any issues you might be having! Could you send what you are experiencing to our customer support at colorexpertapp@sherwin.com? We will further look into this issue.

Color snap is better

Color snap is easier to navigate, is better at identifying what is/is not a wall, and is much more flexible than this app. The color selection and matching in color snap seems more accurate, will match anything in the photo, and allows to manually select colors in the photo as needed; this app will only color match things it can “identify” and there is not manually adjusting anything. If it can’t identify anything in the photo (e.g. if you use a photo of an empty room without the floor prominently visible) it just gives you an error message and does nothing.

In the photos I tested, it failed to identify features like wood trims/railings/etc, a brick fireplace, and countertops. It not only won’t provide color suggestions based on the wood features, but ‘paints over’ them entirely. It wouldn’t color match the brick fireplace, and would give an error message for most photos where it was visible. It would attempt to identify and color match the countertop, but would then ‘paint over’ large portions of it.

Can’t for the life of me understand why you wouldn’t add what this app is attempting to do as a feature in the existing color snap app instead of launching this as a separate, stand alone app. It’s not a bad idea but I’m not keeping two different Sherwin Williams color selecting/matching apps on my device and color snap is without question the more useful of the two.

Very useful tool

This came in really handy when evaluating various rooms - it automatically identifies objects in the room and recommends different color pallets. After comparing, you can get samples from the app sent to you or evaluate against other popular colors
