Colorsnap AppColorSnap Visualizer by Sherwin-Williams

Compatibility:
Apple – Requires iOS 10.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Android – Requires Android 4.4 and up
Price: Free

This is an extremely popular house painting app used by many contractors due to its full suite of features. Take a picture of anything around you and the app will match up to 8 colors in the picture with the corresponding Sherwin-Williams colors. You can color capture your wall color or any other project colors you’re working on within the app or upload a photo from your smartphone photo library or Pinterest account. Once you take or upload a photo, you can click on a color, and it will give you the details, and allow you to save it, email it to clients, or share it on your social media. Additionally, ColorSnap will give you color palette options that coordinate well with the selected color, along with the color strip, and similar colors.

The app is perfect for painting contractors because it will show how the paint color works in a room setting, allowing you to virtually paint your room to visualize what it would look like once the project is finished. One major thing that differentiates ColorSnap from other room painting apps is its integration with Sherwin-Williams’ physical stores and products. You can also search and browse for colors, which includes Sherwin-Williams Historic colors and Timeless color options. If you have a color card from a Sherwin-Williams store, you can scan the number to view all of its details as well. And lastly, the app will help you can find a Sherwin-Williams store nearby when it’s time to stock up on paint.

paint tester appPaint Tester

Compatibility:
Apple – Requires iOS 11.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Android – Varies with device
Price:$2.99

Paint Tester is great for painting contractors because it takes the visualization of a paint color in a room one step further than ColorSnap. Paint Tester allows you to take or upload a picture of a room and “paint” the walls of the house (in the app). It features a brush tool, or a fill color tool which allows for users to paint specific objects in the picture. To find the desired color, you have the ability to utilize the app’s color picker or type in the color number, along with tools that allow you to adjust brightness and erase mistakes. Once you complete your painted picture, you can email it to clients, share it on social media and more.

Android – Not currently available

In truth, Home Harmony doesn’t offer a lot of features that aren’t present in some of the other house painting apps listed above, but there is one distinct feature that makes it very attractive to contractors. Home Harmony allows you the ability to order paint from multiple manufacturers! For painters not locked into a single brand, this can be extremely helpful and offers multiple color options not available on apps tied directly to a manufacturer. Additionally, Home Harmony offers you the ability to adjust flooring options as easily as it allows you to paint walls – with one touch!
