About Colorplan

Colorplan grew out of my own renovation of a 100-year-old Craftsman house. Picking paint sounded like the easy part. It wasn't. I quickly ended up with dozens of open tabs, Google searches and AI chats, and I needed somewhere to save it all, organize it, refine it, and then research some more. I wanted to compare colors, make moodboards and hand everything over to my contractors. I couldn't find a tool that did all of that, and as a software engineer with a degree in electrical engineering, I couldn't just give up.

So I built it:

• Plan every room in one place: walls, trim and ceilings, floor by floor.
• Try a color on a photo of your own room: before buying a sample.
• See how light changes it: north, south, east and west-facing rooms.
• Compare brands side by side: Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Farrow & Ball and Behr, with the closest matches between them.
• Share your plan: with your family, your painter or a friend.

I hope it saves you a few repaints and makes your own renovation a little easier. Colorplan is free, with no ads or sponsors.
