Select colors from the world or a photo
Most tools let you select a color from a fixed palette. Color Identifier is a color selector that pulls from reality instead: point your iPhone at a real object to select its color live, or tap a point in any photo to select a color from the image. You choose the exact spot, and the app reads what is actually there.
How to make a selection
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at the surface, or tap the precise pixel in your photo.
- Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save the selection to a palette.
Because this color selector works on live scenes and saved images alike, the same simple steps cover every situation.
Put your selections to work
- Design — drop a selected Hex or RGB value straight into your files.
- Print — carry the same color across with CMYK and Pantone.
- Paint — take the code to any brand and ask for the closest match.
A selection is only useful if you can keep it, so save your colors into palettes and export or share the codes. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first selections are free.
