PaletteProof

PaletteProof helps painters and illustrators stop wasting time and money on “mystery color” when moving between screen, printer, and real-world materials. It’s a web + desktop companion that generates standardized color swatches, calibration targets, and simple step-by-step checks for your specific workflow (monitor, paper, printer, scanner, camera). You photograph or scan a printed target, and the app reports practical, artist-friendly fixes: which hues are drifting, how your shadows are crushing, and whether your paper is skewing warm/cool. It also builds a personal “material profile” so your favorite paper or printer settings are repeatable. This is not a full pro color-management suite; it’s a focused, affordable tool that gets 80% of the benefit without the complexity. Expect blunt reporting: if your setup can’t hit certain colors, it will say so and suggest alternatives.
