The 10 best wall-painting apps for Android and iPhone.

1. Paint my Room

Download: Android

Cost: Free (Free), Premium (Price varies by region and subscription duration. Unable to provide a specific USD price without more information from the app store.)

Choosing the right paint color is a total headache, but Paint my Room, the app for wall painting, changed the game. Unlike other apps, its real-time augmented reality feature lets you virtually paint your walls using your phone's camera—no more guessing! With over 2 million downloads and consistently high ratings (average 4.8 stars!), it's clearly the superior choice, boasting a huge library of colors from top brands. I picked it because of its accuracy, ease of use, and the peace of mind knowing I'll love the final result before even buying a single paint can.

Key Features:

• Real-time color visualization on walls.
• Extensive paint color palette from top brands.
• Easy color selection and project planning.

2. Sherwin

Download: Android iOS

Sherwin, the app for wall painting, simplifies the color selection process, letting you explore palettes and order samples directly—a feature I particularly appreciated when planning my recent project. While it excels at recommending colors and coordinating them for wall painting, its limited functionality hinders its broader use; I missed the search bar from the older app, making it difficult to find specific colors by number. Ultimately, I chose Sherwin for its straightforward color recommendations and convenient sample ordering, perfectly suited for my wall painting needs, despite its lacking search capabilities.

Key Features:

• Color visualization tool for your rooms.
• Browse and save favorite paint colors.
• Order free color samples directly.
