A color finder that fits in your pocket
Whether you’re decorating a room, matching an outfit, or just curious about a shade you spotted, a good color finder turns guesswork into an exact answer. Color Identifier is a free iPhone app that names any color and hands you its precise codes — no swatch books, no expensive hardware.
How the color finder works
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera to point at any real-world object or surface.
- Or choose From Photo to pick an image and tap the exact spot you want.
- Read the color’s name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes instantly.
Two simple modes cover almost anything you’ll want to identify, from a wall to a flower to a logo on screen.
What people use it for
- Home projects — pin down a paint shade or a fabric tone.
- Shopping — confirm two items genuinely match.
- Creative work — capture colors from the world to reuse in your designs.
From a single find to a full palette
A color finder is even more useful when it remembers your finds. Save colors into palettes as you go, then export or share the codes so the shade you found follows you to wherever you need it. The codes are universal too, so a color you find works with any paint range, any design app, or any document you paste it into.
