Point your iPhone at any painted surface to identify its color and get paint-ready codes.

A color identifier for paint, in your pocket

Before you can match or touch up paint, you need to know exactly what’s already on the surface. Color Identifier works as a color identifier for paint: aim your iPhone at any painted wall, door, or piece of furniture and it names the color and hands you the codes.

Identify a paint color in three steps

  1. Open the app and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at the painted surface.
  3. Read the color name and its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values — then save or export.

When it helps

Codes that travel

The values you capture are universal, so the identified paint color works with any brand’s range — match it wherever you shop.

Frequently asked questions

How does a color identifier for paint work?

It reads the color from your camera or a photo and converts it to standard codes — Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone — that you can use to match, mix, or order paint.

Can it tell me the paint brand and name?

It identifies the precise color values. Since most brands publish Hex/RGB values for their ranges, those codes help you find the closest named paint in any brand.

Will it help with touch-ups?

Yes — capture the existing color before you buy so your touch-up paint matches what's already there.
