Color Identifier

Color Hex Code Identifier

Get the exact hex code for any color, straight from the real world or a photo.

Turn any color into a hex code

For web and UI work, a color isn’t useful until you have its hex value. A color hex code identifier gives you that value for any shade — not just pixels already on your screen. Color Identifier aims your iPhone at the real world or a photo and reads the hex code straight away.

How the color hex code identifier works

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at the object, or tap the exact pixel in your image.
  3. Read the hex code plus RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
  4. Save it to a palette to reuse later.

Because it reads the true pixel or surface, the color hex code identifier gives you the value that’s really there.

Beyond the hex value

Keep your hex codes handy

Save the codes you identify into palettes, organize them by project, and export or share so the exact hex values land wherever you build. The values are universal across any design app or document.
