Solo dev here 👋 Tired of buying a new bottle just to match one color, I made a free app: snap a photo, tap the color you want, get a mix from the paints you own. Scale models & minis. No signup 👇

You almost never need a huge palette. Most muted colors come from a small set + white + a dark — though a few bright ones (clean purple, orange) you'll still want to buy. Fewer paints = less mud. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

The idea in one line: photo on your phone → tap the color you're after → get the closest mix from YOUR paint collection. Free, no account needed → https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gramshift.choushoku #scalemodel #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Write down your ratios. A perfect match you can't reproduce is worthless. Even a rough 'base : white : a touch of X' will save future-you a headache. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Always judge a mix DRY. Acrylics usually dry a shade darker than they look wet, and matte vs gloss shifts the color too. Test on scrap, let it fully cure, then decide. Saves a lot of 'why is it off' moments. #scalemodel #miniaturepainting

Genuine question for painters: what's the ONE color you can never seem to mix right? Mine was always a clean orange — way too easy to muddy it. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

I kept a notebook of paint mixes and still lost them, so I built an app: snap a photo, tap a color, and it works out a mix from the paints you've told it you own. No signup. → https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gramshift.choushoku #minipainting #indiedev #miniaturepainting

Matching a color? Lock brightness first, then hue, then saturation. Chasing all three at once is how you end up with mud. (I automated exactly this in a free app — link in my profile.) #scalemodel #miniaturepainting

Why I built my paint app: I kept buying ANOTHER bottle for one model because I couldn't mix what I already had. I wanted 'use what you own' instead of 'buy more'. #indiedev #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Subtractive mixing 101: paint gets darker AND duller the more colors you add. Want a brighter shade? Start light and add the dark in tiny drops — not the other way around. #minipainting #scalemodel #miniaturepainting

Add the strong pigment to the weak one, never the other way. A drop of red goes a long way in white; white barely moves red. You'll waste half a bottle 'correcting' in the wrong direction. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Mixing metallics with regular paints? Stay metallic-heavy. Even a little matte paint can kill the shine fast, so tint metallics in small steps and test as you go. #scalemodel #miniaturepainting

If a color came out slightly too warm or too cold, you often don't need to repaint. A thin glaze of the opposite temperature over the top can shift it just enough. #minipainting #scalemodel #miniaturepainting

Show of hands: do you actually write down your custom mixes, or just wing it and hope? I used to lose my best colors constantly — half the reason I built a recipe app. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Same paint, different primer = different result. A bright base makes colors pop; black primer mutes and darkens everything. Decide the primer as part of the color plan, not before it. #scalemodel #minipainting #miniaturepainting

A wet palette isn't just about keeping paint workable — it keeps your custom MIX alive between sessions. Nothing hurts like nailing a color and watching it dry out overnight. #minipainting #miniaturepainting
