Color Identifier

Color Number Identifier

Identify a color and read the exact numbers that define it.

Identify the numbers that define a color

Knowing a color by sight is one thing; knowing the numbers that define it is what makes it usable. As a color number identifier, Color Identifier reads any shade and identifies its numeric values for you — point your iPhone at a real surface, or tap a point in a photo, and the numbers appear at once.

How it identifies the numbers

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Aim at the surface, or tap the exact point in an image.
  3. Read the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone numbers.
  4. Save it to a palette to keep the values.

Working as a color number identifier, the app gives you both the on-screen numbers in Hex and RGB and the print numbers in CMYK and Pantone from a single reading.

Numbers people rely on

Keep your numbers organized

Once a color is identified, its numbers belong somewhere you can find them again. Save readings into palettes, group them by project, and export or share the values whenever you need them. The color number identifier is free to download with your first reads free, so you can start identifying color numbers immediately.
