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
Want more? Go premium for unlimited palettes, cross-device sync, single-pigment filtering, and palette customization.
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.
