A color free way to identify any shade
If you want a color free option for figuring out what a shade actually is, Color Identifier fits the bill. It’s a free iPhone app, free to download with your first scans included, and it focuses on one thing: reading real colors and handing you exact codes you can use.
How to read colors for free
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera to read a real object.
- Or pick From Photo and tap a point in any image, like an eyedropper.
- Get the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
A color free start means you can test it on a wall, a photo, or a screenshot before anything else. There’s plenty you can identify:
- Real objects — a fabric, a flower, a product, live through the camera.
- Photos and screenshots — tap the exact spot you care about.
- On-screen art — sample a color from a logo or design image.
Save and share your colors
Beyond being color free to start, the app keeps your colors organized. Save each one into a palette, group them by project, and export or share the codes. The values are universal, so they work with any paint range, design app, or document.
