Getting started

1. Install the app

Download Model Colors from the App Store. It runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 26 or later) and uses iCloud / iCloud Drive to store your collection and builds, so make sure you're signed in to iCloud.

2. Browse a brand

Open a paint range and scroll its colors, or search to jump straight to a paint by name or code.

3. Mark what you own

Tap a color to add it to your collection, or flag it as one to buy. Paints you own are highlighted wherever they appear.

4. Find a match

Pick a color and Model Colors shows the closest paints in other ranges, ranked by color difference — handy when a build sheet calls for a paint you don't have.

5. Track a build

Create a model, add photos and build notes, and log your progress as you paint.
