Color Study is a visual analysis tool for artists who want to better understand color, value, temperature, and design. Load any photo and break it down into the essential information that guides strong paintings and drawings.

Color Study helps you create a view a clear color–map of your reference—showing value structure, warm/cool shifts, notan, and shape design. This map becomes a practical guide you can use while painting or studying master works.

Made for artists

Focus on the fundamentals that matter in drawing and painting.

Train your artistic eye

Color Study is not a design tool or palette generator. It is a learning tool for painters, illustrators, and art students who want to analyze what they see and make better decisions in their artwork.

Study master paintings, analyze your own photos, and deepen your understanding of value structure, color harmony, and visual design.
