Color Identifier

Colour Picker Photo

Tap a point in a photo to pick that colour precisely.

Pick a colour from a photo in one tap

A colour you captured in a photo is easy to lose track of unless you can read it exactly. The colour picker photo mode in Color Identifier solves that: open the photo, tap a single point, and the app reads the colour right there. It acts like an eyedropper for photos, so you pick the precise pixel you mean.

Step by step

  1. Open Color Identifier and tap From Photo.
  2. Choose the photo you want to work from.
  3. Pinch to zoom in, then tap the exact spot.
  4. Read the colour name plus Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.
  5. Save it to a palette or share the codes.

The colour picker photo mode means a colour from a single frame becomes a clean set of values you can actually use.

Make every photo count

Light changes from photo to photo, so a little care helps. Pick a well-lit shot and zoom in before tapping, so you read the true colour rather than a shadow. The resulting codes are universal, so a shade picked from a photo works in design tools or as a paint reference in any brand’s range. Color Identifier is free to download, and your first picks are free.
