User Reviews

Color Muse’s app offers strong color matching and Pantone support, making it useful for professional paint matching and design workflows. However, recurring crashes, persistent device connectivity issues, and updates that remove features or require accounts severely disrupt usability and erode workflows, particularly for accessing history and saved colors.
Pros
  • Powerful color matching and comparison tools with multiple color models (LAB, LCH, RGB, CMYK) and delta E.
  • Pantone integration adds broad compatibility for printing/design work.
  • Valuable for real-world paint matching (interior design) and color-palette reference when used with the device.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and force closes during scanning and data viewing.
  • Unreliable connectivity/pairing with the Color Muse device.
  • Major updates degrade usability by removing features or adding heavy onboarding and forcing account creation.
  • Access to history and saved colors is blocked or limited unless you sign in, and saving colors can be inconsistent.

The app does not save paint finish in the saved colors folder

New updates don’t allow for loading catalog colors into the compare application, and searching for similar colors to color scanned or searched for now gives 0 results. Worked perfectly fine before the recent updates. Please fix these bugs.
