Color Identifier

Color Picker Camera

Point your camera at anything and pick its color live, no photo needed.

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

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera.
  2. Aim at the object or surface you want.
  3. Watch the color update live as you reframe.
  4. 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

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.
