Pick colors live through your camera
Why snap a photo when you can pick the color the moment you see it? With its color picker camera, Color Identifier reads colors live: open Live Camera, point your iPhone at a wall, a leaf, a product, or a screen, and the color name and codes update in real time as you move. It feels less like a camera and more like a color picker pointed at the world.
How to pick with the camera
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera.
- Aim at the object or surface you want.
- Watch the color update live as you reframe.
- Read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
A color picker camera like this is fastest when you want an answer immediately, without the photo step.
Why live picking helps
- Speed — get the color without capturing an image first.
- Real surfaces — read physical things as they look now.
- Comparison — sweep across an object to weigh shades.
Save what the camera picks
When the live reading lands on a color worth keeping, save it to a palette so it is ready later. Prefer working from a still image? Switch to From Photo and tap any point in a picture. The color picker camera is free to download with your first picks free, so you can start picking colors live today.
