Painting Studio · Pigment Quest
Forge a palette before the paint hits the miniature.
Start with one colour, explore a harmony, check the values, and build practical shadow and highlight directions — entirely in your browser.
Harmony palette
Your scheme.
Click a swatch to apply it to the miniature, or use its colour control to fine-tune that individual swatch.
Value range
Does the palette separate clearly?
Selected colour
Shadow → base → highlight.
These are planning suggestions, not paint-mixing formulas. Adjust for material, lighting, and the finish you want.
Miniature preview
Test the colour hierarchy.
Test the palette on our slightly over-equipped fantasy wizard, with separate robe, leather, metal, and magical-effect regions.
Choose a material, then click any palette swatch above to apply that colour. Keep your strongest contrast near the face, weapon, or effect you want viewers to notice first.
Pigment Quest V1: this tool is intended for planning colour relationships and value structure. Real paints vary by pigment, opacity, finish, undercoat, lighting, and display calibration, so screen colours should be treated as direction rather than exact paint matches.
