Description
Watercolor paints, simplified: track what you own, find close-enough dupes, match your stash to any class supplies list, and finally remember which blue is *that* blue.
- Can't remember which watercolor paints you already have at home? - Forgot which red you put in that palette, or whether it stains, granulates, or glazes? - Following a video tutorial and not sure your paint substitutes will behave the same way? - Or if you could *mix* a substitute with paints you already own?
Smarty Paints can help.
It's your watercolor sidekick: a searchable, stash-organizing, tutorial-matching watercolor app for anyone who's ever said "Shoot, which one's Quin Gold again?"
*Search, Discover & Learn* Browse a growing database of 3000+ paints. Filter paints by brand, pigment code, transparency, granulation, and more. Go on, nerd out.
*Palette Layouts That Match Real Life* Drag and drop your digital palette to match your real one—so you're not guessing which little paint pot is which. No more cross-referencing paint tubes or binders of hand-labeled swatches.
*Color Theory Fast Track* Every palette gets the wheel treatment. Your paints plotted, so the missing slot is obvious at a glance. Find the gap. Plan the next pick. Finally see what "warm blue" means.
*Follow Any Video Tutorial With Your Paints* Paste a link or browse tutorials right in the app. Smarty Paints maps every tutorial's paint to your collection — own it, have a dupe, or need to grab it — with property-level comparison so you know *why* a substitute works (or won't). No more pausing to wonder if your Phthalo Blue is close enough to the instructor's Prussian Blue.
*Find Dupes (or Mix One Yourself)* Smarty Paints compares transparency, granulation, staining, pigment, and lightfastness across brands, so you can see exactly where a match holds up and where it doesn't. When it doesn't, find a mix recipe using paints you already own. No new tubes required.
*Collection & Wishlist Tracking* See what you've got. Spot what you're missing. Track usage, log your favorites, and never buy the same paint twice. (Unless you meant to.)
Free features: - Full paint database search - Compare swatches and paint properties across brands - Find dupes and suggested mixes - Browse and match video tutorials to your collection - Create one drag-and-drop palette

Watercolor is easier for Smarty Paints. Just hear it from some of the smartest:
“I love this app!! It’s so fun to keep track of everything!!” - Michelle S.
“I used the app this morning to see if I had a color that matched the one used in the tutorial I was watching. Thankfully I had one that was almost perfect. So it’s a very handy app.” - Barbara H.
“I've been looking for an app like this for years. Finally something I can really use to track the pigments I use for each painting. I love it!“ - Tim G.
Recent changes: It's now easier than ever to mix greys: the color wheel view for palettes has a complements mode, which draws a line across the color wheel to match a paint with it's complement.

This is a useful app for keeping paints organized. My only criticism is that I wish there were an option to add brands & hues to my personal palettes.

I love this app and recommend it in watercolor groups a lot. I use it to research a paint before I buy it, especially to find a paint's properties (light fastness, transparency qualities, and so on). I also use it to create a wish list of desired paints, and to keep track of which paints I have in my various palettes. The database is quite large, but doesn't have all the paints I own, so for now I'm sticking with my massive Excel spreadsheet database of my paints.

Absolutely adore this app! One of my top favorites! Every watercolorist, every painter, needs this beautifully handy piece of genius :)
