Look closer at any color
Sometimes seeing a color is not enough — you want to inspect it and know exactly what it is. Color Identifier acts as a color inspector for the world and your screen: aim your iPhone at a surface, or tap a point in a photo, and it examines that color and reports its name along with the codes behind it.
What the inspector reveals
Each inspection returns the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values. Hex and RGB cover screen and UI work, while CMYK and Pantone carry the same color into print. With one color inspector you can break a single shade down into every format you might need.
How to inspect a color
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Aim at the surface, or tap the exact pixel in an image.
- Read the name and the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
- Save it to a palette to revisit later.
Everyday inspections
- Design QA — check a color in a mockup or live screen.
- Materials — examine paint, fabric, or packaging in person.
- Curiosity — settle exactly which shade you are looking at.
When an inspection turns up a color worth keeping, save it to a palette and export or share the codes. The color inspector is free to download, with your first inspections free, so you can start examining colors immediately.
