Paleto - mixing colors 4+

This app is pretty great!
There’s a few things that I wish were different though.
The main one is when you go to the palette or library and tap on a color, I wish it would tell you how to achieve it. That way if you mix a color on the app and you save it and want to recreate the color later with paints you know exactly what colors to use and how much of each color.

The other thing is I wish it would show you what you get with the pro. Because honestly it’s hard to tell what you would actually get besides no more adds. Everything it describes I feel like you can do without the pro? Idk.. it just has a poor explanation.

Pretty cool app though!

There are a few issues with this app. But I love the idea behind it. The implementation is just not quite right.

First, the moment I opened the app, I immediately got a nag screen popping up asking me to rate and review the app. That right there will earn a “one star review” even on an app that turns out to be great. Let us use the darned thing before asking us to review it.

Second, while it will certainly let you open a photo to select a color, there is no obvious way to zoom in so that you can accurately select a color. I opened an image of color swatches. Each swatch was at least 40x40 pixels. And I couldn’t accurately grab one. So if I can’t grab a color from an image of color swatches, how could I even get an accurate sample from a real photo?

Maybe I’ll come back later when this app is more mature. If I haven’t found a better option by then….

This App is good for converting images or anything from the camera back to a color cod RGB, HEX etc. it can also help with mixing colors by allowing your to simulate the mixing of colors. However I find that what I really want the App to do is to show me how to mix the color e.g 40% white 2% Red 1% Yellow. That’s what I really want and the app falls short of this.
