Color Identifier

Color Match Paint From Photo

Snap it, tap it, match it — turn any photo into exact paint codes.

Color match paint from a photo you already took

That perfect shade is often already on your phone — a wall you photographed, a fabric swatch, a sunset. With Color Identifier you can color match paint from photo to code in seconds: open the image, tap the spot, and read the exact values. No holding chips up to a screen and guessing.

How it works

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Pick the picture from your library — anything with the color you want.
  3. Tap the precise point you’d like to read; it works like an eyedropper for photos.
  4. Read the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
  5. Save it to a palette or export the codes to take shopping.

Why a photo beats eyeballing it

Your eye drifts; a tapped pixel doesn’t. Pulling the color straight from a photo gives you a fixed, repeatable reading you can match or mix against. Zoom in before you tap so you land on the exact area — not a shadow or a highlight beside it.

Take the match to any store

Because every reading gives universal codes, you’re not tied to one shop. Whether you want to color match paint from photo for a feature wall or a piece of trim, walk in with the Hex or Pantone value and find the closest match in any brand. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first scans free.
