Hue checks in with the word on iPhone paint apps
Color expert and fellow former Baltimorean, Rachel Perls, wrote an excellent post on paint color applications for the iPhone. Anyone interested in color matching, and color in general, should scoot over to Hue and read it.
Don’t forget to read the comments. That’s where things really get rolling with opinions from other super smart colorists.
Almost all paint companies offer virtual paint applications on their sites. My personal bottom line is that they’re great for playing with ideas, but don’t count on them for color accuracy.
What’s your experience with paint apps? I wish they offered more room choices. Do you have a favorite?

Avatars are randomly assigned unless you get your own
thanks for the mention!
I agree wholeheartedly with Jennifer- apps are great for ideas, but you’ve got to look at color chips and actual paint for the real deal. the differences between subtractive and additive color mixing are just too huge to ignore. I loved how in depth the discussion got.
I personally use Photoshop to do my virtual mock-ups. But it takes some tweaking to get it right.
