Paint by Number kits are self-contained painting sets, designed to facilitate painting a pre-designed image. The set includes brushes, tubs of paint with numbered labels, and a canvas board printed with borders and numbers. The painter selects the color corresponding to one of the numbers then uses it to fill in a delineated section on the canvas board, in a manner similar to a coloring book.

The kits technique first patent was filed in 1923, and were invented, developed and marketed beginning in 1950 by Max S. Klein, an engineer and owner of The Palmer Paint Company in Detroit, Michigan. The overwhelming public response induced other companies to produce their versions of Paint by Number. The Palmer Paint Company Paint by Number archive now resides in the collection of The Smithsonian Museum of American History. Several early designs for Paint by Number by Max Klein are included in The Department of Architecture and Design Collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
