Painting app can help you get the job done

Painting is always a challenge, especially for people who have a hard time visualizing what a particular color or color combination will look like. Matching colors can also be tough, especially if you’re trying to find paint that complements something you can’t bring to the paint store, like your flooring or your couch. Here are a few paint apps that can help you get the job done, no matter what you’re trying to do!

Try virtual painting with a painting app

Paint my place Paint My Place is a mobile painting app designed for the Apple iOS that enables you to paint any space virtually. Upload a photo file, or use your phone to take a picture of your house (inside or out). Then use the editor to test colors and color combinations from 15 brands of paint for free. Upgrade to the premium version and unlock more than 30,000 additional paint colors. The app automatically updates paint colors as manufacturers add new paints. The base application is free. The upgraded application allows you to save and share palettes.
