About Match My Paint Color
Find the closest paint color across 13 major brands—even when all you have is a can label or a photo of the wall. MATCH ACROSS BRANDS Search more than 25,000 current and discontinued manufacturer colors by name, brand, code, or legacy alias. Choose a color to see the closest active option from every other brand. SCAN A PAINT LABEL Point your camera at a paint can or choose a label photo. On-device text recognition reads the manufacturer, color name, and code, then lets you confirm the catalog identity before comparing it. SHORTLIST FROM A PHOTO Photograph a painted surface, select a clean sample area, and optionally calibrate with a known paint chip or gray card. The app returns an honest confidence-banded shortlist instead of claiming a camera can make an exact measurement. UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE Every comparison includes perceptual CIEDE2000 distance, lightness, chroma, hue, and Light Reflectance Value context. If a brand's nearest option is visibly different, the app says so. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE-FIRST The full catalog works without an account or internet connection. Searches, favorites, recents, label recognition, and photo analysis stay on your iPhone. Selected photos are not uploaded. • 25,000+ colors from 13 brands • One closest active match per manufacturer • Camera label scanning and editable OCR • Photo matching with calibration guidance • Local favorites and recent colors • Verified catalog updates with rollback • Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support Digital swatches and photos vary with lighting, sheen, surface, age, display, and camera processing. Always verify finalists with physical samples before purchasing paint. Match My Paint Color is an independent comparison tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the paint manufacturers represented in the catalog. Manufacturer names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
