Takes a bit of work. Would be much more useful with search-by-name (ex: Hansa) and especially search-by-pigment number (ex: PY3). Would love to see a section on "granulating colours".

Very nice and fun. Could use alternative ways to find/search/group colors. E.g. Color wheel, Munsell chart, other sort criteria Feature request: gouache & casein (Richeson/Shiva)

Great app. The colour mixing option allows you to experiment by mixing colours to match observation whilst out and about which is great for getting your eye in. I purchased all the sections and I think this will be my most useful tool barring my painting supplies. Great painting tips for beginners and good reference for experienced painters. Wish you could select colours frim your own pallets as favourites.

Very good app. It would be useful if the colours owned could be recorded to allow the categories containing the owned colours to be highlighted. Additionally the owned colours could appear first on the paint mixing tab colour selector.

AMAZING watercolor reference tool for those who need help with color mixing as you can combine up to three pigments using percentages and view the result.

About this app

Watercolour Reference has been designed to assist watercolour artists and painters, either beginners or the more advanced. This app assists the artist in the choice of appropriate colours and shades by providing data on individual colour characteristics and suggesting colour mixes/combinations and tips for a variety of topics.

The Paint Mixing simulation allows you to choose up to three colours and mix them together in varying quantities to produce an estimation of how they might mix in the real world.

Watercolour Reference currently uses the watercolour portfolios of Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith. Colour Index Names and Numbers are provided for easy comparison with other manufacturers.

Included with this app are suggested combinations for portrait and flower painting plus a general watercolour characteristics database.

Additional categories can be purchased in-app.

Features optimised layouts for both tablets and smartphones.
