ChromaMagic

This is such an impressive app and an incredibly useful tool for artists (like me) who find the Munsell system indispensable for palette choice and color mixing efficiency. Everything about it is so well thought out and beautifully implemented. It's an absolute delight to use. Version 3 was already awesome, but today I updated to version 4 and am blown away by the custom mix tool (and also the bigger image size, which was a VERY welcome improvement). Thank you so much for making my painting life more efficient, more predictable, much less confusing, and more fun! I LOVE this app. 🩷

ChromaMagic is teaching me to "see" colors in a way that is so intuitive and so simple to use. The most important skill for an artist to have to create life-like portrait paintings is to, first, use the correct value and then, the correct color. ChromaMagic guides you to both. For example, brown-coated dogs may look like a warm brown in a highlight but in the shadow, the brown is cooler, a purple brown. ChromaMagic gave me this insight - what a revelation! It took me just minutes to mix the colors based on the information from ChromaMagic. I've struggled with "seeing" the right color as I have learned to paint. With ChromaMagic I don't dread the color mixing step. It has taken that pain point out of my hobby. ChromaMagic works across my Apple devices. Download (and pay) once, and it is available across all the devices.

This one app does the work of 5 I had before. Its hard to find really workable Munsell oriented color apps, this one not only has Munsell but 2 other systems as well and integrates with Lightroom well. Plus its very intuitive to use I was up and running full speed on the first try. Some may think its pricy but worth every penny and more for the depth of information you get and how much time it saves me as a painter. Really a stellar app made by a very fine artist who really understands what is needed for visual art. Thanks Michelle!
