Color Muse reviews
4.8 out of 5, based on 1,762 reviews.
What people like
- Matches paint colors very accurately
- Easy and fast to use
- Affordable compared to buying physical fan decks
What they complain about
- Forces you to create an account
- App crashes frequently after updates
- Color matching results are often wrong
- Too many steps to start using it
Great product
Just started today and got a perfect match.now to see if my wife can pick the difference
Disappointingly Inaccurate
I just painted a job that has 4 different Ben Moore colors and decided my first test of accuracy would be on this project. . Only 1 out of 5 did it have the correct color at the top of the list. The second color was in the suggestions but further down. The other 3 did not even show up. Two of them that did not even show up are the very popular colors White Dove and Silver half dollar. The other one was Ballet White. Sometimes it showed and other times it didn’t.
Easier compare would be nice
I bought the Pantone subscriotion. My usage will be in printing, where colors are specified by pantone number. It woukd be great if i could simply type in the target pantone number, do a scan, and get a delta E. Having to scan a color fan doubles the work and makes it necessary to carry a fan around with me. Perhaps this feature is present, but i could not find it.
Ral color subscription is not working
I use ral colors at work and was hoping I could use my colormuse se for ral colors
Please Fix
Can you please fix the app so it actually saves the scans… scans are there but all color and data (except notes) are gone. Would be great if I could actually save all the info instead of immediately taking screenshots and organizing / tracking them outside the app. Thank you.
App works great...but
There is only the option to compare colors that you have scanned with your color muse device. I have scanned one color and am trying to match it in another brand. I don’t have the option to do that. Please consider modifying the compare color option to include non-scanned colors in the color comparison field.
Does Not Work
Could not connect device after numerous attempts. Support avenue does not work from app. Junk
App crashes when I click on coordinating color
I love this app besides the crash I experience after I scan a color, then click coordinating colors, select a color scheme, and then try to click the suggested color.
Numbers do not change when I’m advanced mode.
As of newest update. The numbers do not change in comparison mode under advanced mode. If another color is selected the numbers won’t change until you go back to basic and then back to advanced. Everything saved in comparison is wrong due to this issue.
Paint Colours
The device and App work well but when I scan a wall painted with Dulux Natural Calico it comes up a Dulux colour ‘Jodhpurs’ and nowhere in the list of many colours does it say Natural Calico 🙄 the actual colour the wall is painted. Jodhpurs is an Australian Dulux colour
Just needs Apple Watch App
Works phenomenally! Just needs an Apple Watch App which would allow me to log colors on the job site even faster.
New update broke the app
New updates don’t allow for loading catalog colors into the compare application, and searching for similar colors to color scanned or searched for now gives 0 results. Worked perfectly fine before the recent updates. Please fix these bugs.
Now requires account to function
So much functionality removed to force us to have an account.
Tries hard. And fails
I bought this for the usual application: find suitable paint at the paint store to match my walls. But every part of the wall i tested came back with a different result?! And where i previously tried to color-match by eye (and failed visibly) the app reported that only a super-human would spot a difference. I beg to differ. Will be returning the gadget with disappointment.
Missing Paint finish in saved colors
The app does not save paint finish in the saved colors folder
Nice app
Nice app, nice features.
Go away
Leave me alone
Useful
Use go matching paint at work.
App was working great until recent update
Prior to installing a new update this week this app was great, functional, and did everything I needed to. Now when I’m scanning a color, the force closes the app and it’s useless.
Pantone!!
So happy that you now have Pantone in your app. Price is very affordable. Especially since the fandecks can be expensive and must rebuy every two years.
New software broke my muse
I was happy with my color muse but hadn’t used it in a few months so my iPhone archived the app. When I went to use it, it downloaded an update I guess and it won’t connect.
Super helpful! Need PMS colors, too!!
I work in interior design, and so I need to pull a paint color from something random a lot. A LOT. This lil tool + app is a lifesaver! One request: it would be incredibly helpful to pull the PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors from a scan. It would make working with graphic designers much easier!!
Very handy, but
The ability to save the scanned color instead of just the paint matches would be very useful.
Love it!!
I’m so impressed with this whole thing app is amazing!! It’s so easy to use so fast and so extensive! Well done great app highly recommend!
The app won’t let me log in
I only use this app 3-4 times a year and I have never had a problem before but I just tried to log in and it won’t let me. When I click the “continue without logging in” option a different error message comes up.
Outstanding App
Had damaged a wall that was covered in 30 year old paint from a defunct company. Used the color muse which scanned and gave results that I could take to Home Depot and have a custom mix. When I brought the paint home it appeared way off, but I did some touch test work. Once it dried, the paint was dead on! We are completely sold on the app and device!
Not super accurate
I actually had the name of the paint chip that it scanned it only gave it one star for being a match. Maybe there is a way to do this that I don’t know about to have an accurate but it doesn’t seem to be working the way I thought it would.
Handy little thing
I bought this for my wife about a year ago. We played with it some, but we had already repainted our house, so it was more of a gimmick. We recently bought a new house and this little thing has come in very handy. I have tested it against paint samples and it has matched every one of them. I used it on the walls that have been painted for 2 years and it provided me with the correct paint color we used so we could patch holes. It is also handy to keep the color palette on so we have the colors at hand whenever we are out and about.
Absurd.
New version of app is terrible. Way too many steps to get going. 1st step: Select create account or login. 2nd step: use your email and password to sign in and click submit. 3rd step: select your region (North America) 4th step: select package (paint and coatings) 5th step: shows you a tutorial that you have to skip 6th step: click on “connect device” 7th step: click on your listed device 8th step: click on “calibrate device” Only then, can you start scanning. This is absurd. Preposterous. What other app do you use that requires this many steps to get going? What app requires your entire email and password every. single. time??
Very Impressed
I will be the first to admit I was skeptical, but I am very impressed. Works very well.
Account creation now required to see history
The Sept 2020 app update prevents access to the history of previously scanned colors or comparing colors until an account is created. The previous app version allowed access to both without an account. Removing access to force account creation is annoying behavior for an app that is supporting a piece of hardware that was purchased from the company. The app should be facilitating use of the color muse, not obstructing use and collecting email addresses. Also, after creating an account, the display of previously scanned colors only shows 4 or 5 on the screen at one time and the hex RGB codes (e.g. #B2A334) are not displayed. The previous app showed 24 colors on the screen with the RGB codes. The new app does allow adding notes to the scanned colors and downloading a spreadsheet with all the color info including the RGB codes, which are nice features. Displaying additional color info with the scans would be a useful improvement. The 3 star review is for the Sept 2020 app, the Color Muse tool rates 5 stars - it’s small, quick, and reasonably accurate.
good for searching paints
was able to search paints quickly. tested with some paint cards i have and the right colors came up. useful tool
Horrible update
Everything was great until the new update. I do not like it all. Too complicated
Cool little unit
I like the compare function a lot. I like how it breaks the two comparison colors down to lab, lch, rgb, & cmyk. I just wish that they added a graphic arts function.
Garbage
Crashes when trying to screenshot data
App not friendly to iPhone 6
Crashes the phone hard if you try to screen shot the scan data.
