Features

Built for modelers, by modelers

Every feature designed around the real problems you face at the workbench.

CIEDE2000 Color Science

Not just RGB matching. We use OKLAB color space and the CIEDE2000 algorithm — the same standard used by paint laboratories.

Your Paint Collection

Build your personal inventory. When searching for alternatives, see which paints you already own — no more buying duplicates.

Smart Palettes

Create project palettes with paint requirements. Share them publicly with the community or keep them private for your builds.

Advanced Filtering

Filter by brand, paint type (acrylic, enamel, lacquer), finish (matte, gloss, metallic), or search by manufacturer code.

Multi-Brand Database

Comprehensive coverage of Tamiya, Vallejo, Mr. Color, AK Interactive, Citadel, Scale75, AMMO Mig, and more.

Multilingual

Full English and Polish localization. Use Model Box in your preferred language with more translations coming soon.
