Read any color through your camera
Your iPhone already sees color everywhere it points — a camera color tool just turns that into usable information. Color Identifier reads camera color live: aim at a wall, a leaf, a label, or a piece of clothing, and the color name and codes appear on screen as you move.
How it works
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera.
- Point at the object or surface you want to read.
- Watch the color name and Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes update live.
- Tap to save the color into a palette.
You can also work live or from a photo:
- Live Camera — real-time reading of anything you can point at.
- From Photo — tap a precise point in a saved image instead.
Both feed the same codes, so camera color readings and photo picks live side by side in your palettes.
Save what you capture
A reading is most useful when it sticks around. Save colors into palettes and export or share the codes, so a shade you caught through the camera is ready to drop into design work or carry to a paint counter. The app is a free download with your first scans free, so you can start pointing and reading today.
