Problem

Choosing the right paint color for their space is difficult for people because they struggle to know how a color looks.

Browsing through paint shades doesn't solve the problem of making a decision, especially when different rooms, moods, and personal preference need to be considered.

Solution

PaintMatch provides personalized paint colors or shades recommendations with room visualization.

Users can explore different paint colors and also answer few question to find a personalized paint color, and can preview directly on a room wall before making decision.

Role

I designed the product concept, user experience, visual style, and interactions. I used Claude as an AI tool to help build the application. I reviewed and refined the design to create the final interactive experience.

Key learnings & takeaways

This project taught me how to make color selection simple and personal. I learned to guide users from exploring colors to confidently choosing one.

I learned that showing the color on the actual wall can help users feel more confident about their choice.

Using AI helped me turn my idea into a working prototype faster. I learned that good UX still needs my own decisions about layout, interactions, and design.
