Color Identifier

Color Identifier

Identify any color around you — from a wall to a sunset to a screenshot — and get its exact codes in seconds.

Identify any color, anywhere

Curious what shade that wall, jacket, or flower really is? Color Identifier turns your iPhone into a pocket color expert: aim at almost anything and it names the color and hands you the exact codes. The same color identifier works on photos too, so a screenshot or saved picture is just as easy to read as the world in front of you.

Two simple ways to read a color

  1. Live Camera — point at any real object or surface and read its color live.
  2. From Photo — open an image and tap a point, like an eyedropper for your photos.

Either way you get the color’s name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes, ready to reuse.

Everyday ways people use it

Save and share what you find

Every color you identify can be saved into a palette and organized by project or room. When you need it, export or share the codes so the right shade travels with you from home to the store or studio. A free color identifier that keeps your colors on hand makes it easy to stop guessing and start matching.
