  I added a link to the App store at Apple.com, but I usually download everything directly in itunes or on my phone.

  I’ve been looking for this app since June 1 and it is nowhere to be found.

  I cant find the app either, so I think they are late on the release.

  Both the Sherwin Williams app and Color Capture were in the app store on Monday – I spent about 10 hours testing and comparing them as well as some other iPhone color apps. Neither of these apps really do the job and the Ben Moore app missed its own color swatch match repeatedly…

  If you’re interested – the full comparative review is posted at:

  “Snap a picture of any color inspiration and instantly match it to one of the more than 3,300 hues that comprise Benjamin Moore’s color system?” Sherwin Williams has an iPhone App as well.

  They can’t be serious.

  The Sherwin Williams April issue of STIR had a lovely article about additive vs. subtractive color; why various paint program’s colors you see on your monitor do not sync up to real-life paint chips or what your printer spits out. “Montiors are like snowflakes” is what the article said. So, what?, iPhones are somehow *special* snowflakes? Monitors emit light and so do iPhones. Let’s call a snowflake a snowflake, shall we.

  Releasing this with no caveats or warnings is irresponsible or maybe just plain stupid. As a color professional, I am offended — as in just what are they trying to pull and who the hell do they think they’re foolin’? I know that there are throngs of color novices also known as the consumers of color who do not don’t know any better; they don’t know the difference between additive and subtractive color. I promise you if they rely on these Apps to match their screens to a paint color as the hype promotes, they’ll understand. Ohhh, will they ever. The phrase “baptism by fire” comes to mind.

  It will be interesting see how well this App to snap or capture a color and turn it into a paint color business goes. I’m guessin’ fun is about all it’s good for.
