Paint School

About

Paint School is a digital coloring book designed for kids on the Philips CD-i. Players use a palette of 32,000 colors to fill pre-drawn shapes across various activities. Tools include basic brushes and pattern fills with the option to play background music from CD-quality tracks. The game emphasizes experimentation with hues and designs while teaching basic art concepts like contrast and balance. Released in 1990, the game showcases early CD-i capabilities with its vibrant color count and audio integration. While the platform itself limited widespread popularity, fans of retro educational software appreciate its ahead-of-its-time visuals. The focus on creativity over competition keeps it feeling simple yet functional for young artists.
