Source colours instead of generating them
A colour generator usually spits out hues from a formula or a random seed. That can spark ideas, but it rarely gives you a colour you have actually seen and liked. Color Identifier flips the process: rather than generating colours, it captures the real ones around you and turns each into an exact, reusable code.
Capture a colour, get its codes
- Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
- Point at an object, or tap the precise spot in your image.
- Read the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
- Save it to a palette to use later.
Where a colour generator hands you something invented, this gives you the true value of a colour that already exists in the world.
Good places to gather colours
- Photos — pull tones from an inspiring image.
- Objects — fabric, packaging, paint chips, nature.
- Screens — capture a colour from a screenshot.
Save the colours you gather into palettes, organize them by project, and export or share the codes. Because the values are universal, each colour drops into any tool, document, or paint range. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first captures free.
