Read colors live through your camera
Sometimes you don’t want to snap a photo first — you just want the answer as you look. The color identifier camera in Color Identifier does exactly that: open Live Camera, point at a wall, a leaf, a label, or a piece of furniture, and the color name and codes appear in real time as you move.
How the live camera works
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera.
- Aim at the object or surface you want to read.
- Watch the color update live as you reframe.
- Read the name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
Why a live camera helps
- Speed — get a color instantly without taking and opening a photo.
- Real surfaces — read physical things the way they look right now.
- Exploration — sweep across an object to compare shades on the fly.
Prefer to work from an image instead? You can also switch to From Photo and tap any point in a picture or screenshot.
Capture the keepers
When the live reading lands on a color worth keeping, save it to a palette so it’s there later. Using the color identifier camera to build palettes on the spot means the exact codes are ready to export or share whenever you need them, whether you’re at home, outdoors, or in a store.
