Color Identifier

Colour Hex Picker

Pick any colour and read its hex code on the spot.

Pick a colour, read the hex

When you need a hex value fast, a colour hex picker that works on real life saves a lot of fuss. Color Identifier lets you point your iPhone at any object and read its hex code in real time, or tap a point in a photo to pick the hex for that pixel. No copying numbers by eye — the value is calculated for you.

One pick, every code

A colour hex picker is most useful when it does more than hex. Each pick here returns the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone, so the same colour is ready for the web, a UI file, or a print job in one go.

How to pick a hex

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose Live Camera or From Photo.
  2. Point at the surface, or tap the precise spot in your image.
  3. Read the Hex code plus RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
  4. Save it to a palette and share when you need it.

Because the colour hex picker reaches into the real world and into screenshots, a colour you spot anywhere becomes a tidy hex code you can paste straight into your work. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first picks are free.
