From inspiration to color palette ideas
Great color palette ideas rarely arrive as finished swatches — they show up as a tile you liked, a flower, a photo, a passing scene. Color Identifier helps you catch those moments. Instead of browsing generic schemes, you capture the actual colors that caught your eye and let them shape the palette you build.
Capture the colors behind the idea
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Aim at an object, or tap a point in an image.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save it and keep collecting to flesh out your idea.
This way your color palette ideas stay tied to real shades you can reproduce, not approximations.
Where ideas come from
- Around the house — paint, fabric, wood, ceramics.
- Outdoors — landscapes, plants, sky, stone.
- Photos and screenshots — anything you’ve already saved.
Save, refine, share
Group captured colors into palettes, rearrange them as your idea develops, and export or share the codes when you’re ready. Because the app is free to download with your first captures free, you can start translating color palette ideas into working palettes right away.
