Sample colors from anywhere
A good color sampler should not care whether a color lives on a wall, a flower, or a screen. Color Identifier samples them all. Open Live Camera and point your iPhone at a real surface to sample its color live, or open From Photo and tap a point in an image like an eyedropper. Either way you get a clean, exact reading.
How sampling works
- Open Color Identifier and pick Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at the object, or tap the precise spot in your photo.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save the sample to a palette for later.
Because the same color sampler handles live scenes and saved images, there is no separate workflow to learn for each.
Keep every sample
Sampling is more useful when colors stick around. Group your samples into palettes, then export or share the codes so a shade you sampled once is ready whenever you need it again. The values are universal, so a sampled color drops straight into design tools, print specs, or a paint order in any brand’s range.
Because the app also names each shade, a sample gives you a clear label as well as the numbers, which can be a helpful aid for color vision deficiency. It is free to download, and your first samples are free, so you can start sampling colors from the world around you today.
