One colour picker for everything you see
Plenty of colour pickers only work inside a single app. Color Identifier is a colour picker that reaches into the real world too: point your iPhone at a physical object and read its colour, or tap a point in a photo or screenshot to pick a colour from your screen. One tool covers both.
How to pick a colour
- For physical things, open Live Camera and point at the object.
- For on-screen colours, take a screenshot and open it in From Photo.
- Tap the spot you want and read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.
Because the same colour picker handles real surfaces and screen captures, you do not need separate apps for each.
Real life and on screen
- Real life — walls, fabric, packaging, plants, anything you can point at.
- On screen — apps, websites, and social posts via screenshots.
- Saved images — any photo or download in your library.
A picker is far more useful when your picks do not vanish, so save colours into palettes and export or share the codes. A colour you picked once is then ready the next time you need it. Color Identifier is free to download, with your first picks free.
