Start a scheme from colors that already work
A typical color scheme generator spins out harmonies from a single hue using math. That can be a fine starting point, but the most convincing schemes usually come from colors you have actually seen together — a fabric, a landscape, a favorite photo. Color Identifier takes that route: instead of generating colors from a formula, it lets you capture the exact shades you want and keep them as usable codes.
Capture each color, keep every code
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at an object, or tap a precise point in an image.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save it, then repeat for each color in your scheme.
Used this way, the app becomes a hands-on alternative to a color scheme generator: you decide the colors, and it records them precisely.
Turn captures into a palette
- Inspiration photo — pull three or four tones from one shot.
- Real objects — combine colors from things around you.
- Mixed sources — gather shades from screen, print, and life.
Group your captured colors into a palette, organize by project, and export or share the exact values. Color Identifier is free to download with your first readings free, so you can begin assembling a scheme from real color today.
