Reading the colors inside color images
Plenty of people work with color images every day — design references, photos, swatches, screenshots — and the real question is usually: what exact color is that? Color Identifier answers it. Rather than serving up generic pictures, the app lets you open your own image and pull precise color codes from any point you tap.
Turn an image into usable codes
- Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
- Load one of your color images from the library.
- Tap the spot you want to read.
- Get the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
There’s also Live Camera mode, so you can read colors off real objects the same way you read them from images.
Common sources
- Photos — capture a shade from nature, food, or fabric.
- Screenshots — sample a color from a website or app.
- Design files — grab a hue from a logo or mockup.
Build a palette from your images
Every color you sample from your color images can be saved into a palette, organized by project, and exported or shared. The codes are universal, so they work with any paint range, print job, or design app — turning a pile of images into a working set of colors.
