Paint Color Record

Remember which paint color and brand went on every wall in your home.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

When a wall gets scuffed, nobody remembers the exact paint color or finish. This app keeps a record of each room, the paint brand, color code, finish and date, with a photo of the can label, so touch ups are easy.
