Upload a pic of what you want to find the colour of.
click on a section ans see a list of the closest commercially available paints

Works very very well :)

Yeah seen this one before, seems it could be very useful, I wonder if a bit of compensating might be required due to the colour scales in computer images differing from reality, but never-the-less helpful.
As I'm a Humbrol fan it seems to be a bit light on their brand I thought.
