7-in-1 colour comparison tool first teaser

Added 2024-11-22 14:00:09 +0000 UTC

Here are the first screens for my 7-in-1 colour comparison tool. I know I'm talking about this for quite a while but honestly I underestimated the amount of work, this is gonna be my magnus opus!

This will be an interactive, clickable PDF with a navigation and menu, compatible with any device, smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. It will feature seven brands, all the colours from Citadel, Vallejo Game & Model Color, AK 3rd Gen, Warpaints Fanatic, and Two Thin Coats. Over 1,100 colours in total. Sorted by colours.

The tool is based on my existing hand-painted colour swatches, but to make it as accurate as possible, I will give all of my swatches a second edit to bring the accuracy to a (near) perfect level (I already worked through Citadel, Warpaints Fanatic and Two Thin Coats, AK 3rd Gen and Vallejo Game Color are next). And then I'll do a third check when I'm sorting and arranging the colours when I work on the tool.

So the timeline is work through all my existing swatches in November and December (which of course will also be updated for free), and then to release the 7-in-1 tool in (early) January. This will be so good, my aim is to make the best comparison tool for miniature paints that there is.

And then I planned lots of exiting things for 2025, swatches for the new P3 hobby paints, Atom/Ionic smart paints, Green Stuff World Maxx Formula, as well as swatches for Contrast, Speedpaint, and Xpress Color over multiple primer colours and Slapchop greyscale. And of course updates to my existing swatches, such as the John Blanche expansion set for The Army Painter's Warpaints Fanatic :)

Last but not least, thank you so much supporting me on this journey. It's your financial support that gives me that little cushion that allows me to pour as much time (and heart) into maintaining and expanding my library of swatches as I currently do :)
