Some people are just talented when it comes to creating a color palette for their homes and specifically for their bedrooms. But, for most people, the art of creating the perfect color combination comes down to buying those little tester cans of paint and hitting the frustrating road of trial and error. Fortunately, with today’s technological advances in digital color generation, the art of color creation can be easily achieved with one of several different smartphone applications.
Here are three of the best FREE (or almost free) apps for homeowners to use on their smartphones when they want to create a bedroom paint color palette for their homes’ master, secondary, kid, and guest bedrooms.
Have you ever seen a pure, deep blue sky illuminating a summer morning? Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could take that color and match it with paint to redecorate your master bedroom? Or, how about capturing the crimson red of a rose in perfect bloom to use as a color swatch for your private home office? Well, now with Loomatix’s Color Grab app, you can use your smartphone to capture the colors of nature and translate them into a digital code. Color Grab can also take these unique colors and create perfect color combinations for painting walls, trim, and endless palettes based on a single color. Even better, Color Grab is completely free and very intuitive for users.
Color Grab is free and available for Android phones and desktops only.
Palettes is a powerful app that helps web designers, professional painters, and even wardrobe designers create and maintain color palettes anywhere at any time. The app blends and mixes complicated color palettes to create just the right shade for your painting and decorating projects. The app allows users to even grab colors from a photograph, a website, or one of five pre-created color models. There is no limit to the number of palettes that can be created.
Palettes is a single universal application that works on all iOS devices including iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. NOTE: this application runs at one of three levels: Free, Basic, and Pro. The initial free version runs at the Pro level for a limited time allowing you to fully test the application. It will then revert back to the Free level. Use the included in-application purchasing to upgrade to either the Basic or Pro level at any time.
Palettes is one of those home improvement tools you shouldn’t go without when decorating your home or simply refreshing your bedroom walls so they work with your bedding and furniture.
