Matching Acrylic Paint Brands to Hex Codes for Paint-by-Number

One of the biggest challenges in creating paint-by-number kits is matching the generated colors to real paints. Here's how to map popular acrylic brands to hex codes for accurate results.

Golden Acrylics

Golden produces professional-grade acrylics with consistent pigment across batches. Most Golden colors have published hex values that you can import directly into our palette editor.

Liquitex

Liquitex offers both heavy body and soft body acrylics. Their color library is extensive, and you can create a custom palette in our app that matches your Liquitex collection.

Apple Barrel

Apple Barrel paints are popular for crafters and beginners. They're affordable and available in a wide range of colors. Our color matching tool can approximate Apple Barrel shades from any uploaded image.

How to Import Paint Colors

Use our palette maker to create custom color sets. Enter hex codes manually, upload an .ASE file from Illustrator, or use the color picker to sample from your reference image. Save your palette and reuse it across multiple projects.
