For the color-obsessed or interior designer on the go, Sherwin-Williams created the ColorSnap iPhone application to help sync up distinct palettes.

Quick and easy, it works by simply scrolling a finger across an existing photo or a new one to locate the exact point for color match up. ColorSnap then instantly offers up one of the 1,500 corresponding Sherwin-Williams paint hues and a list of their closest retail stores.

The color can be saved for later and the app suggests a list of coordinating colors to create a unified palette.

Relieving a lot of the time and stress from running back and forth to the paint store attempting to find the exact desired shade. the service is also just a fun way to play around with hues.
