Just to appall you "no organization fo' me" people: I keep track of all my paints in a spreadsheet as well.

I chose to go with digital organization using Evernote:

I have many things organized this way: movies, board games, minis (each manufacturer has their own notebook), Blogs to follow, Tutorials, Video Games, Comics, Books, etc.

I loaded that on my phone at one point but it wouldn't do much if I didn't sign up, pay for storage, web-connect???

 

Can it function on its own — sans web?

It can be used offline, but I am unsure of what features work via the paid option and which don't. I use it heavily for note-taking in meetings and appointments (especially to share note as a guardian of my father with other family members), so paid was a no-brainer.

I plan to organize them by triads once I get a couple more paints to round out some of them. Right now though, even without adding, I still have way too many paints and far too little space.

 

Here's my work area. Most of it is DIY but the new large paint rack is from iron heart artisans. It's pretty darn nice for $20 and hold 60 MSPs.

Sayyy, those almost look like some Golden Matte Fluid Acrylics off to the right.

Now that is what I'm looking for!

 

But I can't seem to find a decent price in Canada (remember that shipping and a lower Canadian dollar value makes for pricey differences).

They are actually Pokorny Acrylics for Dwarven Forge game tiles.

They have an ebay account and a website. On 360 right now so finding the site and linking you isn't available but their ebay does say they ship to Canada. It costs $20 US and $6.95 to ship in the states I also saw a blog where a guy made something pretty similar out of 2 by 4 boards using a 1 inch Forstner bit to drill holes. Thought about doing that but decided to be lazy instead.

otherwise it seems like the ones to buy are pretty spendy after shipping from Germany, Australia and Poland. I really wanted the Ultimate Paint Rack from Massive Voodoo but it is super expensive.
