Color Identifier

A Color Picker

One tool to grab any color from real life or a photo and read its exact codes.

A color picker that sees the real world

When people search for a color picker, they usually picture an eyedropper trapped inside a single app. Color Identifier breaks that limit, reaching the things around you: aim your iPhone at a painted wall, a flower, or a fabric swatch and read the color live, or open a photo and tap the exact spot you want.

How to pick a color

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera for real objects or From Photo for an image.
  2. Point at the surface, or tap the precise pixel in your picture.
  3. Read the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
  4. Save it to a palette for later.

Because the same picker handles both real surfaces and saved images, you never have to juggle separate tools.

Where it helps

Having a color picker in your pocket means a color you spot in the wild never gets away. Read it, save it, and the exact codes travel with you, ready to drop into design files or carry to a paint counter whenever you are ready.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this different from a basic color picker?

Most pickers only work on screen. Color Identifier also reads real-world objects with Live Camera, then gives you Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Is it free?

Yes, it is a free download for iPhone and your first scans are free, so you can try both Live Camera and From Photo right away.

Can I keep the colors I pick?

Yes. Save picks into palettes and export or share them, so a color you grabbed once is ready whenever you need it again.
