When enjoying the hobby of Miniature Painting we discovered a need for a tool to help us plan color palettes before painting. Initially it was done by taking a picture of the miniature and loading it into a photo editing software. We would create layers and fill selected area with color to see how they looked, but it was a slow process that required a lot of preparation and it only helped with that one miniature. So, we mixed our hobbies of software development and miniature painting to build the tool we needed, Palette Forge.
