SwatchMaker lets you explore thousands of real paint combinations before you ever leave your sofa. No guessing, no expensive mistakes, no drawer full of sample pots you'll never use. How it works • Hit the space bar to shuffle through random colour combinations from real paint brands • Lock colours you love and find the perfect pairing • Upload any image; wallpaper, a photo, artwork—and we'll match the colours to actual paints from Farrow & Ball, Lick, Paint & Paper Library, and more.

Hey Product Hunt! I’m Rachael 👋 Thanks for stopping by.
I made SwatchMaker after waking up at 4am with the kind of idea that won't let you go back to sleep.
I opened Figma Make, put together a 5-minute mockup, and immediately thought:
“Wait… this is already REALLY useful.” ...Then I realised all the paint hex codes were completely fake 😅
So I took it into Cursor, used AI to scrape the actual paint colours, and started building out the app for real. SwatchMaker now has 1,000+ real paint colours from 10 brands, and I’m still adding more whenever I have a cup of tea in hand.
My favourite feature is the image extractor — upload any inspo image and the app finds the closest paint matches from the whole library. It feels like having an interior designer baked into your laptop.
Fun fact: I shared the very first Figma prototype on LinkedIn and got seven DMs that day from people saying, “Wait… I need this.” That’s when I realised I should actually build it.
I’d love for you to try SwatchMaker, hit the space bar, upload an image, and tell me what you think.
Feedback (and paint brand requests!) are very welcome 🎨💛

@nickwsmith Aw thanks Nick!
Such a useful app - loved integrating it into living-quarters.co so we can suggest paint to our customers based on their wallpaper choice! Congrats @rachaelgrocott

I just shipped a new feature to the app; filtering. Now when you hit space you can filter by specific paint brands, or when you upload an image, you can only see suggestions of 'blue' paints, for example!
