Color Sampler Tool

A pocket color sampler tool that turns any shade into exact codes.

A color sampler tool that fits in your pocket

Desktop sampling usually means a screen and a mouse. This color sampler tool lives on your iPhone, so you can capture a color the moment you see it. Aim the Live Camera at a physical object for a real-time reading, or open a photo and tap the exact pixel you want. No setup, no cables.

What the tool returns

Every reading from the color sampler tool gives the color name alongside Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone. That single set of values covers screen and print, so the same sampled shade works whether you are building a web page or sending artwork to a printer.

From sample to finished work

  1. Choose Live Camera for real objects or From Photo for images.
  2. Point or tap to take the sample.
  3. Read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
  4. Save to a palette, then export or share.

Treating your phone as a pocket sampler means inspiration never gets away — spot a shade on a sign, a sofa, or a screenshot, sample it, and keep it. It is free to download, with your first samples free, so you can put the tool to work right now.
