Why I Built This

As an artist myself, I understand the challenges of color mixing, value studies, and reference analysis. I've spent countless hours squinting at reference photos, trying to identify the perfect colors for oil paintings and watercolor studies.

Traditional color wheels and basic mixing guides only take you so far. Real-world painting requires understanding the subtle relationships between colors in actual photographs and reference materials. That's where these color analysis tools can help.

I've made these tools free because I believe that access to quality artist resourcesshouldn't be limited by budget. Whether you're painting landscapes, portraits, or still life compositions, these tools can help you paint with more confidence.
