Color Study: Simplify Painting

Color Study is a learning tool for painters to analyze images, simplify color and value, and match colors through paint mixing. Load any photo, reduce it to clear shapes and essential color information, and generate a color map with a practical guide you can use at the easel.

Core tools include a precise color picker with magnification, color markers you can place on your reference, and inspection of value, saturation, and color codes (RGB, HSV, HSL, CMYK, LAB). It can automatically extract key colors and accents, and compare colors by value, temperature, and perceptual difference. Advanced tools—accessible with a subscription—add interactive value maps, notan controls, temperature maps, paint-mixing guidance, and exportable color maps and line drawings to support study and practice.
