What TiNTLY does
TiNTLY turns the color you see in an image into a practical recipe from the paint tubes on your own palette.
Click a color in a photo or painting
Get a recipe based on real pigment data
Save the result and return to it later
1. Log in
Use your email and password, or start with the trial if you are new here.
2. Build your palette
Add the paints you actually own. The palette is the base for every match.
3. Read the recipe
The pie chart shows how much of each pigment goes into the mix.
Getting a fast starting mix
Use TiNTLY when you need a usable first recipe instead of an endless guess-and-check loop.
Best practice: work from a reference image with stable light.
Replacing a missing tube
When one pigment is missing, the substitution engine suggests a bridge color you can actually add.
Best practice: add the bridge color to the palette and recalculate once.
Teaching workshops
Ateliers can use TiNTLY to keep a shared palette and hand off consistent recipes after the course.
Best practice: prepare the palette before class starts.
Saving and revisiting recipes
Mixes stay attached to the image, so you can come back later and continue from the same point.
Best practice: save the recipe once it is close enough to paint from.

Palette setup and first match
Good for artists who are setting up their first palette.
Atelier workflow
Useful for studios and course leaders.
Core topics covered here and in follow-up clips: signup, payment and cancellation, palette setup, and reading a mix result.
TiNTLY works with real pigments, not just screen colors. That is why the recipe can move in a slightly different direction than the pixel you clicked.
Four things matter most
Temperature: warm and cool shifts change the character of the result.Value: lightness and darkness often matter more than the exact hue.Lighting: the light in your reference photo can change what TiNTLY sees.Substitution: when a color is missing, a bridge pigment can help you get closer.
Screen color vs pigment
A screen shows light. Paint mixes absorption and reflection. TiNTLY bridges that gap with pigment data.
Tints and reductions
White changes value, and fewer pigments can sometimes give a cleaner result. TiNTLY shows both options.
Best practice
Use stable light, keep the palette simple, and add bridge colors only when they help the workflow.
