TintScoutMatch any color to paint

Updated

About

TintScout finds the closest paint color match for whatever you're looking at. Point your camera at a wall, a fabric, anything with color, and it compares against a library of paint swatches using true perceptual color distance — not just raw RGB — so the match actually looks right in person.

No camera handy? Pick a photo from your library instead; the same on-device matching runs on any picture.

Every match includes the color's Light Reflectance Value (LRV), the number painters and designers use to judge how light or dark a color will really read on a wall — not just how it looks on screen.

Save matches as swatch cards to your Photos library to take with you to the paint store.

Everything runs on-device — no camera frame or photo you use is ever uploaded anywhere. TintScout works fully offline.
