About Palette Studio

A single-page tool for miniature painters: pick or explore a colour and get colour harmonies matched to real paints you can buy — with cross-brand equivalents, colour-blindness simulation and WCAG contrast checks.

The Help page explains how the matching works in plain words, and lists the keyboard shortcuts.

Data & credits

The dataset (3,375 paints across ten brands — Warhammer Colour (formerly Citadel), Vallejo, The Army Painter, AK Interactive, AMMO by Mig, Two Thin Coats, Reaper, Scale75, P3 and Pro Acryl) is imported from the community dataset Arcturus5404/miniature-paints, used under the MIT License, © 2022 Rick Fleuren. I didn't curate the paint list or its hex values myself — they come from that project; this tool only adds the matching on top, and puts five Warhammer Colour names back to the maker's own spelling (Bugman's Glow, for example). The 150 Warhammer Tone Pro paints are not in that project: their colours are read from Games Workshop's own Tone Pro colour charts (Warhammer Community, 4 October 2026), so they are GW's picture of each paint, not a measurement of it. DakkaDakka is credited for the cross-reference concept; its chart was not copied.
