Color Identifier

Color Tester

Check the exact shade of anything before you commit, with full codes.

Test the exact shade before you commit

When you need to be sure about a color, a color tester beats guessing. Color Identifier acts as one: aim your iPhone at an object, or tap a point in a photo, and it reports the precise shade. You see exactly what color you are dealing with before you order paint, match a material, or lock a design value.

How to test a color

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at the object, or tap the exact spot in your image.
  3. Read the color name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
  4. Save it so you can re-check or compare later.

Using it as a color tester, you can capture two shades and lay their codes next to each other to judge how closely they agree.

Where testing pays off

Save your test readings into palettes, organize by project, and export or share the codes. The universal values let you carry results into any tool or paint range. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first tests free.
