The NEW ChromaMagic App - Munsell Color Tool for Artists

I’m a watercolor and oil painter who was struggling with identifying colors in my subjects. Try as I might my paintings just came out wrong. I wrote this app to help me train my brain to see color as it is and not how I expected it to be. It was a game-changer.

Originally written just for my own learning experience I’ve now made this into an iPhone/Android/Windows app so you can identify colors in references anywhere you like. Use at the easel, on the desktop, watching tv. Anywhere.

Most color apps show color in computer speak. They’re not how we see color as artists. ChromaMagic shows color in the most natural way for artists - hues, values, and chromas. Based on the Munsell system the combination of showing reference colors in context gives us painters a natural map of how color varies.

Improve your color perception for the price of a tube of paint.

One-time purchase for each platform - no subscription, no data collected, completely yours.

I have NEVER gone so quick to purchase an app in my life!!!!! Thank you for the greatest painters tool known to man
This doesn't just look brilliant...this app IS brilliant!
ChromaMagic is just pure genius, and its gotten me out of pits I’ve dug for myself so many times. I used the very first version and bought the new one the day it was released. She has really given us a gift!
This continues to amaze me. It has made an incredible difference in my painting and ability to judge color
I've been using ChromaMagic for a while now. Worth every penny and I pretty much use it for every painting I do. Thanks Michele!
Michele, you are a genius (Ed: I like this one)
I just love all the features and feel like this is an absolute game changer in terms of anyone who works with color being able to understand infinitely better the nature of color/hue.
Thanks Michele, your app is a huge Gem!
