Frequently asked questions

Huelow is a web tool that turns any color into a paint recipe and a shopping list. Pick a color or a palette, and Huelow shows which paints to mix, in what proportions, and which paints to buy.

Recipes are simulations: a strong starting point to test, not a guarantee. Huelow models how pigments blend and scores every result with ΔE2000, but real paint varies with pigments, dilution and lighting. Test each mix on a palette and add the last paint gradually, which is why every recipe suggests a mixing order.

Citadel, Scale 75, Green Stuff World, Angelus and Liquitex today, one brand at a time, and the list keeps growing. You can switch brand from the header at any moment, and your saved palettes stay valid because they store colors, not paints.

Yes, there is a free plan: Create and color sampling from photos are unlimited, you can save up to 10 palettes, run up to 5 Paint Mix searches a day and track the stock of one brand, and Pool works on the demo palettes. Pro costs €8 per month or €42 per year and removes all these limits.

Pool merges your saved palettes into one list of target colors, then searches for a short list of paints that covers them all. It reuses the same paints across colors, counts the paints you already own first, and offers three options: most faithful, recommended and most economical. It aims for a short list without claiming a proven minimum.

Yes. Import a photo in Create and Huelow extracts its main colors, or lets you sample any area by hand. Screens and lighting change how colors look, so treat a sampled color as a starting point.

Yes, as long as your paint is in the catalog. Angelus leather paints cover sneaker and leather customizing, Liquitex Heavy Body covers artist acrylics, and the miniature ranges cover figures and models.

No. Huelow is independent. Brand and product names belong to their owners and are used only to identify real products.
