BrushForge product facts and media kit

Product summary

BrushForge brings paint conversion and painting organization into one native app. Its app catalogue covers 4,300+ paints. The core product connects catalogue-based CIEDE2000 matching with owned-paint inventory, repeatable recipes, and project planning. It is free to start and available on Android and iOS.

The public website provides an account-free converter, 2,941 generated paint pages, and brand-to-brand conversion charts from the current 10 July 2026 web snapshot. Public matches are catalogue-based and are not presented as physical brushout measurements.

Fact sheet

Platform and free-tier matrix

Optional and newer tools can differ between Android and iOS releases. Reviewers should describe the build and platform they tested rather than assuming feature parity.

Known limitations

• Colour matching compares stored catalogue values; it is not a database of controlled physical brushouts.
• ΔE2000 describes recorded colour distance, not coverage, opacity, flow, finish, or metallic reflectance.
• Screen swatches vary with calibration, display technology, colour-shifting settings, and lighting.
• The public website catalogue and native app catalogue are separate surfaces and can update on different schedules.
• Cross-platform sync between Android and iOS is not available.
• Some optional features and import paths can differ by platform and version.

Store links

Territory-specific ratings and review counts are intentionally omitted because they change over time and differ between storefronts.

Founder bio

Bas Mahieu is a UX/UI designer with a programming background and a miniature painter. BrushForge began as a personal tool after he returned to miniature painting following a long break. It remains an independently developed side project, shaped by painter feedback and the slow work of collecting, cleaning, and maintaining paint data.
