Color Identifier

Color Selector From Picture

Tap any spot in a picture to select that exact color.

Pick the exact color out of any picture

When the color you want is sitting inside an image, you need precision. As a color selector from picture, Color Identifier lets you tap a single point in a photo and reads the color right there. It works like an eyedropper for pictures, so you select the precise pixel rather than guessing at the overall tone.

How to select from a picture

  1. Open Color Identifier and tap From Photo.
  2. Choose the picture — a screenshot, a download, or your own photo.
  3. Pinch to zoom, then tap the exact spot.
  4. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.

Using the color selector from picture, you can lift a single shade from a busy image without it blending into everything around it.

Where it helps

Zoom in before you tap so you catch the true color rather than a shadow or highlight. Save each selection to a palette and export or share the codes. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first selections are free.
