Identify colors hiding inside an image
Images are packed with color, but most of the time you want one specific shade out of the mix. A color image identifier like Color Identifier solves that: load any picture, tap the precise point you care about, and it identifies the color there and gives you the codes. It reads where you tap rather than averaging the whole frame, so even a tiny detail is fair game.
From image to codes in three steps
- Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
- Load the image and tap the exact point.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
Used this way, the color image identifier turns any photo into a source of usable color codes.
Images worth identifying
- Screenshots — a button, banner, or background color.
- Reference photos — a fabric, a flower, a finished room.
- Shopping images — confirm the shade of a product online.
Build a palette from your images
The colors you identify do not have to be one-offs. Save each one into a palette, keep them grouped by project, and export or share the codes when the moment comes. Want to read something physical instead? Switch to Live Camera and point your iPhone at the real object. The app is free to download with your first reads free, so a color image identifier is in your pocket whenever you need one.
