Anyone know any desktop or web apps with similar functionality? I don't have any iThings and am bored with conventional color pickers.
Corel Painter has paint mixing, but I don't know how it compares to Paper's approach.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's on the charts because it's "free". The overall rating is only 4/5 stars on itunes. They use the annoying model of making you buy tools like color as in app purchases. Notability, which has some similarities, sells for 0.99 without in app purchase nonsense and is rated higher.
The in-app purchases are perfect for this. You get to demo the brushes before you use them to figure out if you even need or like them. They're asking what amounts to what -- $10? for a beautiful app that looks and works worlds better than most in the same arena. I much prefer paying nothing up front and being able to try all of the features and figure out which ones I want to buy. I ended up getting them all simply…
I would rather see Apple implement a time limited refund like Google does than use in app purchases for try and buy functionality.

Interesting they use Processing.JS and CoffeeScript.
This is an interesting technical post, but why is it being hosted on fastcompany.com. This belongs on their blog.

#36I wonder if CMYK would be appropriate? The article didn't mention anything about it (even though it talks about how they tried a bunch of other color spaces by name)
Re: The Magical Tech Behind Paper For iPad's Color-Mixing
#37I'm blown away by the effort put into a single feature, a feature which isn't even unlocked in the basic install of the app. Seriously impressive dedication to getting something right.

Re: The Magical Tech Behind Paper For iPad's Color-Mixing
#40Mixing colors would be a neat addition if the rest of the app was geared toward actual creative work. Drawing is laggy, there's no zoom, the UI enforces landscape mode, you can't select your own drawing order or see more than one drawing at a time with their fancy pants book page flip animation.
