Know the color
before you buy
the paint.
Take a photo of the room. Try real colors on the walls and see them in the light the room actually has.
34,431 colors from 21 manufacturers plus RAL Classic, each with the code your store mixes from. Sherwin-Williams is the exception for now: names and hex, no codes yet.
Solutions
Painting your own place
Try it on your wall, not on a chip under store lights. Then buy one can, once.

Twelve colors in twenty seconds, on the client’s own wall. Then twelve more.

Settle the color on the estimate visit, so the repaint never lands on your crew.
See how it worksThree steps to a color you can order
- 01
Snap a photo
Point the phone at the wall. Bright, dim, mid-renovation, it does not matter. The light in the photo is the light you get back.
- 02
Pick colors
From the fandecks your store carries, from RAL Classic, from a hex, or straight out of a photo you saved.
- 03
See the wall
Drag the divider for before and after. Swipe for the next color. Take the code to the store.
What it does
Tap one wall, get one wall
Tap a wall and the fill stops at its edges. If it grabs too much, turn the tolerance down or fix it with the brush.
One color per zone
Accent wall, niche, ceiling. Three colors, one photo, composited back into one frame.
Twelve at a time
A batch of twelve comes back in about twenty seconds. Then run another. Twelve on the paid plans, three on free.
Up to 4K
1024, 2048 or 4096 px. 4K is on the two top plans. Big enough for a deck or a print.
A folder per job
Each project keeps its photos and every color you tried, names itself from the room and the color, and syncs through your own iCloud.

Muro next to the other paint apps
Brand apps show one maker’s colors. Free AR apps drop a flat filter over the camera. Here is where the three differ.
| Feature | Muro | Brand apps | Free AR apps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paint colors | 34,431 | 1,000 to 3,500, one brand | Varies |
| Manufacturers | 21 plus RAL Classic | One, by design | One to five |
| How it renders | Image model, photoreal | Flat color overlay | Flat AR filter |
| Keeps light and shadow | Yes | No | No |
| Batch of twelve | Yes, on paid plans | No | No |
| Output resolution | Up to 4096 px | Screen only | Screen only |
| Languages | English, Polish, German | Mostly English | Mostly English |
| European brands | Caparol, Brillux, Tikkurila, Śnieżka and more | Regional only | Limited |
Why bother with Muro at all
It looks like the room, not like a filter
Other apps lay a flat color over the photo. The shadow under the shelf goes flat and you learn nothing. Muro keeps the shadow.
The color exists in a store
Each one has a maker and a code, so the counter mixes that exact color. A hex nobody sells is a nice picture and nothing else.
Twelve at once beats one at a time
Comparing two colors from memory is guessing. Seeing twelve side by side on the same wall is deciding.
Cheaper than the sample pots you never finish
Test forty colors without buying one. Then buy the single sample that matters and put it on the wall.

All 44 articlesBest Paint Color Visualizer Apps in 2026 (Tested and Compared)
I tested every major paint visualizer app so you don't have to. Here's what actually works, what doesn't, and which one gives you results closest to reality.
Free vs Paid Paint Visualizer Apps: Is It Worth Paying?
Free paint apps exist. So why would anyone pay for one? Because free apps use flat color filters while paid apps use AI. Here's exactly what that difference costs you.
Muro vs Benjamin Moore Color Portfolio: Brand App or Multi-Brand Visualizer?
Color Portfolio is free and has 3,500 Benjamin Moore colors. Muro costs money but covers 21 manufacturers plus RAL Classic. Here's when each one makes sense.
Outside walls too
Your house in a new render color
3,652 named colors from 17 render manufacturers and 34 color systems. In the browser, no app needed.
Open the toolRoofingYour roof in a new color
All 216 RAL Classic with their LRV, plus 164 named colors from 10 roofing manufacturers. Seven RAL colors are fluorescent and no screen can show them. We say which.
Open the toolCommon questions
Fifteen questions, answered in full, because search engines and assistants read this page too.
Is Muro free to use?
There is a free tier: three colors per batch, 1K output, a watermark on the result. Paid plans are weekly, monthly or annual, and the App Store shows the price before you pay.
How much does Muro cost?
Weekly, monthly or annual. The price varies by region and the App Store shows it before you pay. Client work needs the commercial license, which sits on the top plan.
How accurate are the visualizations?
Accurate enough to rule colors out, which is most of the work. Muro keeps the room’s own light and shadow instead of flattening it. A screen still is not a painted wall, so the last check belongs on the wall.
What paint brands are available?
34,431 colors from 21 manufacturers: Behr, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, PPG, Valspar, Dunn-Edwards, Farrow & Ball, Dulux, Caparol, Brillux, Sto, Tikkurila, Jotun, Flügger, Beckers and more, plus all 216 RAL Classic.
Can I use colors from inspiration photos?
Yes. Drop in any saved image and Muro pulls the color out, then finds the closest shades that exist as products so you get a code, not just a hex.
Can I match a color from my existing wall?
Photograph the wall, pull the color from the photo, and Muro returns the closest products with their codes. Useful when you are matching a room you painted years ago.
What devices does Muro support?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 18.4 or later. Projects sync between them through your own iCloud. There is no Android version today.
Does Muro work offline?
Browsing colors and opening past projects works offline. Repainting a wall needs a connection, because the image goes to the model and comes back. The app tells you when there is no signal instead of failing quietly.
Can I visualize multiple walls or colors at once?
Both. Up to twelve colors in one batch on the paid plans, three on free. And several zones in one photo, each with its own color, composited into one frame.
Can I visualize paint on ceilings, trim, or doors?
Yes. Tap the area and the fill stops at its edges, or paint the selection by hand with the brush. Ceiling, alcove and trim can each take a different color.
What image quality options are available?
Three: 1024 px, 2048 px and 4096 px. Free is 1K, Pro is 2K, the two top plans go to 4K, which is large enough for a client deck or a print.
How does Muro compare to free paint visualizer apps?
Free apps lay a flat filter over the camera and give you a color name at best. Muro renders with the room’s own light, carries 21 manufacturers instead of one, and hands back a code the store mixes from.
Can interior designers use Muro with clients?
Yes, and the commercial license for paid client work is on the top plan. Projects keep one folder per client, the iPad is the screen you put on their table, and 4K output is large enough for a presentation.
Where are my photos stored? Is my data secure?
Photos stay on your device and sync through your own iCloud account. To repaint a wall the image goes to the image model and the result comes back. The privacy policy states what is kept and for how long.
How do I cancel my subscription?
iPhone Settings, then Apple Account, then Subscriptions, then Muro. Cancel any time and you keep access until the period ends. No fee for leaving.
This green is Benjamin Moore HC-188.
You could order it this afternoon. That’s the idea.
