Identify the color in any photo
A favourite photo often captures a color you’d love to use again — the exact blue of a door, the green of a hillside. A color identifier from photo lets you reach into the shot and pull that shade out. Color Identifier works like an eyedropper for your camera roll: open the photo, tap the point, and identify the color.
How to identify a color from a photo
- Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
- Pick any photo from your library.
- Tap the exact area you want to identify.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
Because the color identifier from photo reads the true pixel, you get the real shade rather than a near-match.
Everyday uses
- Travel memories — identify the colors from a holiday photo.
- Home and decor — pull a tone from a snapshot of a room.
- Creative projects — gather colors from photos you’ve collected.
Save the colors you find
Tap several points to identify a set of colors from one photo, then save them as a palette and export or share the codes. The values are universal, so each color works with any paint range, design tool, or document.
