Color Paint

Microsoft Paint (frequently called MS Paint or Paint; formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple graphics painting program that comes bundled with all modern versions of Microsoft Windows.

The program opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome, all with the. bmp extension), JPEG, GIF, PNG, and TIFF. Older versions cannot open or edit PNG files, and can only open GIF, JPEG, and TIFF files with a graphics filter for the specific file type. Fine art, mural, scenic, faux finish, fabric, fiberglass sculpture, surfboard painting. In addition, newer versions no longer support the PCX format, or some older special formats like RLE. Furthermore, the newer versions do not support the older MSP file format, readable by Paintbrush in Windows 3. x and used with versions of Paint in Windows version 1 and 2. It doesn't support SVG unless you have SVG reader. Need help your painting project? Browse colors, search our extensive How-To paint library, and calculate the paint you'll need.

The program can be in color mode and in monochrome mode (in the sense of having no shades of grey). Thus for shades of grey the color mode is used. Alternatively, in monochrome mode, shades of grey simulated by patterns of black dots, in various densities, can be painted.

However, there is no option to convert real grey to this simulated grey. Computerized paint color matching from Sherwin-Williams. When loading an image with shades of grey, the program automatically goes into color mode.
