Frequently Asked Questions

True Colours is a web app for marker colouring enthusiasts. It gives you colour codes for colouring pages, so you know exactly which marker to use in each numbered area. Think of it as paint-by-number for your favourite marker sets. You can browse pages from talented artists, save them to your personal collection, and start colouring with confidence.

A colour code is a mapping between numbered areas on a colouring page and specific marker colours. Instead of guessing which colours look good together, the code tells you exactly which markers to pick up.

There are two types. A classic code maps directly to the colours in a specific pen set, so it is the closest match you can get with markers you own. A modified code is a freestyle version where you pick any colours you like, without being tied to a specific set.

We support popular marker brands including Ohuhu, Copic, and more. Each pen set in the app contains the exact colour names and numbers from the real-world sets, so you can match codes to markers you already own.

Colouring pages are published by artists, which are illustrators and designers who create original designs. True Colours is a platform for their work. Users do not create pages. Instead, they create colour codes for existing pages and share their results with the community.

Browse the feed to find a page you like, then check if someone has already shared a colour code for it. If they have, grab your markers and follow along. If not, you can create your own code using the Code Maker.

When you sign up, you get 3 days of full access to everything: the Code Maker, every pen set, and the whole community feed. No payment details are needed to start.

After your trial, you can still browse the feed and view pages. To use the Code Maker and access full features, you will need a subscription at €3/month.

The Code Maker is where you build your own colour codes. You pick a page, choose your pen set, and assign colours to each numbered area. You can work from a reference image or start from scratch.

Yes. When you finish a colour code, you can photograph your coloured page and upload it as a result. A result is your code paired with the finished artwork.
