Color Number Finder

Find the exact numbers behind any color, from the real world or a photo.

Find the numbers behind a color

A color is easy to see but hard to communicate without its numbers. As a color number finder, Color Identifier turns any shade into precise values: aim your iPhone at a real object, or tap a point in a photo, and it finds the numeric codes that describe that exact color. No more trying to explain a shade in words.

Every number from one reading

A single tap returns the color name plus its numeric Hex, RGB and CMYK values and a Pantone reference. RGB and Hex give you the on-screen numbers, CMYK provides the print numbers, and Pantone adds a standardized reference. One color number finder covers each format you might be asked for.

How to find a color’s numbers

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at the object, or tap the exact pixel in your image.
  3. Read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone numbers.
  4. Save the reading to reuse the numbers later.

Where the numbers go

Save each set of numbers into a palette, organize by project, and export or share so the values travel with you. It is free to download with your first reads free, so you can start finding color numbers today.
