Match the paint on your walls without records
Repainting a patch, ordering more of the same, or matching a new wall to an existing room? An app to match paint color on walls saves you from holding chips up and squinting. Color Identifier is that app to match paint color on walls: it reads the surface and turns the shade into exact, matchable codes.
How it works
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Aim at a clean section of the wall, or tap that spot in a photo.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
- Save the reading to a palette before you shop.
For the most accurate match:
- Light it well — even, natural light gives the truest reading.
- Skip the shadows — corners and glare can distort the color.
- Read twice — confirm by scanning a second clean patch.
From wall to paint counter
Matching a wall this way gives you codes, not a brand name, so you are never locked to one manufacturer. Take the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values to any shop and find the closest match in their range. Because an app to match paint color on walls lives on your phone, the codes are always with you when you go to buy.
