Canpicker – a tool to find the closest spray paint match for any digital color

Hey everyone! I'm a mural and graffiti artist and wanted to share a little side project that came out of pure frustration.

A while ago I had a big commission where I had to match more than 150 colors from a digital design with actual spray paints. It took me a whole day flipping through swatches and guessing – super annoying. I searched for tools, but everything I found was either locked to one OS or didn’t support the brands I use.

So I built my own app: Canpicker

It’s a free PWA, works on any device, and lets you:

upload a design or photo

click on a color and see matching spray cans from 9+ major brands

create color lists, download them, and even check lighter/darker shades

I made this mainly for myself, but I’d love to hear what others think. Any feedback, suggestions, or feature ideas are super welcome!

Cheers, Moe
