TinPot

See every paint sample on your reference photo. Color Overview maps your project swatches—tap a marker for brand, range, and codes. Now in TinPot 1.1.

TinPot is the app for miniature painters and hobbyists who want to nail the right color without guesswork.

Take a reference photo — a mini, artwork, or physical swatch — pick a point with the magnifier, and instantly see the closest acrylic matches from brands like Citadel Colour, Vallejo, Army Painter, AK Interactive, and more. Matching uses Lab color space with ΔE₀₀ (CIEDE2000), the same standard color professionals rely on.

KEY FEATURES

• Color picker — Camera or gallery, touch sampling with magnifier, hex and RGB values, and a ranked list of compatible paints with brand filters.

• Dashboard — Quick access to analyze an image and view your active projects. (Coming soon!)

• Projects — Save work on your device: name, notes, category, reference photos, and colors linked to the catalog with their ΔE. (Coming soon!)

• Inventory — Track what’s on your paint shelf: catalog search, quantities per SKU, and barcode entry when the code exists in local data.

• Settings — Light, dark, or system theme; favorite brands; customizable project categories.

BUILT FOR THE HOBBY BENCH

• Bundled catalog data for color lookup without relying on a constant connection.

• Projects and inventory stored locally on your iPhone or iPad.

• App interface available in English and Spanish. (for now)

• Portrait-first layout, ideal at the painting table.

TinPot doesn’t replace your artistic judgment — it gets you closer to the reference so you waste less paint testing shades.
