Not a painter myself, but based on some playing around with the web app, I can certainly see how a painter can derive a lot of value from this. Seems comprehensive, yet practical and to the point.

Some feedback on the workflow. It seems like uploading a photo is optional, but it’s not all too clear. I’m assuming some artists might want to create a palette for something more abstract that doesn’t require a photo. Maybe focusing first on the palette, with an option of basing it on a photo might make more sense as a workflow. Then again, I’m not your target user.

Almost goes without saying, but being able to use it fully without registration will certainly get you all the HN points here.

Or maybe add a couple sample photos to choose, that will help users to test the full features without needing to upload anything!

I've just added 3 sample photos, so people can play with the app without uploading anything.

Palette tab with saved paint mixes is always available. Color mixing requires selecting paints (Paints tab). On the Colors tab you can use color chooser widget or directly type the target color HEX without uploading the photo. But I see that I have to clearly describe this. Also, I will add a few sample photos ASAP, so users don't have to upload anything to play with the app.

I've just recorded a video tutorial on using color mixing and palette without photos <https://youtu.be/fmQO177shoQ?feature=shared>.
